Hey, hey! This SeaMonkey thing is pretty cool!

I have used IE for years, but when tabbed browsing came along in Netscape - that did it for me - I switched, and I haven't been back. Now, the whole Mozilla Project thing is kind of confusing to me (because Firefox is supposed to be part of Mozilla, or Netscape, or both, or vice versa, or one way or the other). Whatever. I still can't say I understand why there are so many versions/names/products that seem to do the same thing, but there it is.

In fact, I wish there were some kind of comparsion chart that sorted out what the differences between the browsers for lazy people like me who just want a quick "bird's eye checklist": Firefox (which I don't like - it just failed to impress at first sight), Netscape (which I do like), and Mozilla/SeaMonkey (which I love - simply because it has everything! For the life of me, the only difference I see between Firefox and Netscape is that Firefox is just "too plain" looking. I tried Firefox once - and that was it. Firefox has a very cool name, but I just didn't see a reason why I should use it over Netscape.

Anyway, this new SeaMonkey is awesome and seems to run faster than Mozilla 1.7.12; although there aren't as many themes available with SeaMonkey, I'll keep it around! I'm using the Toy Factory theme, just because it's so different! I don't think IE ever gave me a choice on how I wanted it to look! As far as themes are concerned, if you do try SeaMonkey I'd recommend American or Toy Factory. I'm using Toy Factory now, simply because it's so different - very colorful! When I used Mozilla, my favorite theme was Mostly Crystal Small, but that theme is incompatible with SeaMonkey. Hmm. I wonder just how difficult it is to build/write/code/design new themes? I have an idea...

Why not give SeaMonkey a try! or, if you like a lot of themes to choose from try Mozilla Suite (SeaMonkey is the upgrade to M0zilla Suite).
