 A real answer.  I'll take a few days and try it out.

 I also only spent 15 bucks on it.  I consider it rather like
 shareware.  If I like what I see, and it works well, I'll pay
 more for a later, greater version.  Parenthetically, some of the
 core OS/2 files I have date from Jan'95.  I use plenty of
 programs that are considerably older than that.  One of the
 utilities I load in my autoexec is from 1985.  Another, from
 1986, is one I've never seen the like of, and I use it scores of
 times every day.

 It can't be much worse than Win95, which came with this computer
 I bought when my old one died, and which is endlessly annoying.
 I'll probably end up wiping the partition I exiled it to.

 Mail and news go together, but why they stick them with
 browsing, I don't know.  I tried that mode with Netscape and
 MSIE in Windows, and found it wasn't me.  Build a fast, small
 browser, I say, and leave mail/newsgroups to a separate fast,
 small, dedicated program.
