[techtalk] Alternative browsers

[kev]

Hi,

I've just tried Skate from http://www.icesoft.no, as an alternative to
Netscape which always crashes when it encounters a Java applet.
It's basic, but it does the job. It runs Java applets without crashing.
It's actually written in Java, but I can't compare it to HotJava cos
I've never used it. It doesn't do JavaScript though. But for anyone who
desparately needs a browser to display applets they write themselves,
this is definitely worth a look.
I'll get round to trying some more browsers soon when I have the time (I
tried unsuccessfully to install HotJava the other day).

cheers,

- Kev
