190307 2003-11-09 19:55:00 Well for the moment I'm going to be testing out i.Scribe as my email client - it's a small download (under 700KB), and doesn't even need to be installed, you just run it from a directory. You can put password protection on the mail folder (something I wanted), it supports GPG via a plugin, and it is very light (describes itself as "Outlook without the fat").

I might go for Firebird or else full Mozilla as a browser... but I'll have to test chat clients, because I have unexplicable dislikings if I don't feel something is quite right.

Browser: Opera :)
Media Player: personally i would never use realplayer, i think its almost as invasive as gator grr, i have a few issues with media player cause every media file i get seems to be in some different format or another so i had about ten different players, but recently someone put me onto a program called VLC media player, well i was skeptical at first cause the suggestion came from a MAC user, but wow this sucker plays everything i can throw at it, my new best friend. www.videolan.org
Chat Client: i dont use them and cant remeber the name of it but there is one that will service all others, eg hotmail, icq. just cant think of the name of it :(
