It's completely integrated with the web - you can browse local directories, click on folders, connect to the web or an ftp server, and things look just like they do on your local computer (just a little slower). You can even edit and save files over the web (if you have permission and passwords to do so). Also drag and drop files from websites onto your desktop (or the other way around, if allowed). That's what I used to make the desktop jpeg on the website (the one with the circuit board backdrop) Netscape is also available, but it's big, slow, and buggy. Regards, Irv
