I'll reply in line: > KOffice < OpenOffice I like OOo, because I started out with it, and I bought a bunch of user how-to books, etc. But I once had a link that I couldn't open with OOo, and I clicked on it, and Koffice was able to open it. I use KDE 3.3 on SuSE Pro 9.2. I'm an attorney, and a simple end user. > KMail < Thunderbird I actually use kmail. I find that it integrates well with KDE, and it is actually pretty slick, IMHO. I've never used T-bird, again, just because I started with KDE, and T-bird didn't exist back then in 2001. > Konquerer < Firefox I like Konq better that Ff for most stuff. I find that Ff's screen is too busy. Just MHO. But I'm glad that Ff is there, because I use it for stuff that Konq won't render. And I actually find that Konq is faster than Ff. I'm still using dial up, so the difference counts. Either way, I'm grateful to have the programs above available to me. ___________________________________________________ .
