Has anyone tried the new Netscape 8.0 yet? Any opinions on it at all?

Didnt know it was out, thanks man ..

The powerful archmage Raistlin follows the path of dark magic and even darker
ambition, as he travels back through time to the days before the Cataclysm.

At odds with your twin, Camaron, and fighting your sister who raised you, Kitiara.

It's a lonley road you travel.

Always nice to see a fellow Dragonlance fan. Raistlin Majere is my favorite charcter in the Dragonlance world followed closely by Tasslehoff Burrfoot. Damn kender makes me laugh my ass off all the time. I have nearly every single Dragonlance book put out. Currently reading the newest one that they have set up on a different continent of Krynn.

But regarding browsers I'll stick to the devil I know IE all the way for me, tried Nutscrape waay back when and hated it... that hate lives on in me still!

Mine has always been Sturm Brightblade.

The Oath and the Measure.

Cam as well over the years, only because he gets to live so long. :)

Sturm was an extremely honorable man. A very good character who died too early.

I really enjoyed these trilogies the best:

Legends Trilogy : Time of the Twins, War of the Twins, and Test of the Twins

Elven Nations Trilogy: Firstborn, The Kinslayer Wars, and The Qualinesti

I'm currently reading Blades of the Tiger: The Taladas Chronicles- Volume One

This isn't going in the direction I thought it would by reading the thread title :blink:

I might pick that up, the new one.

Been awhile though, I got pulled off into Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan for the past 12 years, and I'm regretting it.

So much goddamn arm crossing and pouting in the writing and not enough tangible storyline.

You should try reading Terry Goodkind's Wizards First Rule as it is an extremely compelling story and much more adult in tone that many fantasy books. For example they have very compelling toture scenes in the book which is something you don't see a lot of in fantasy.

I also highly suggest you try Terry Brooks The Sword of Shanarra which ismore taditional fantasy but EXTREMELY well done. Extermely enjoyable.

Both of those series are books that when they come/came out I read them in one day and both of those two books above are over 1000 pages in paperback form.

I tried the Wheel of Time series quite a while back but just couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll check it out again.

Easy to get me off track when things like good fantasy books or Trek or something of that nature comes up. :)

Good stuff. Will check it out.

last good fantasy/sci fi book I read which I couldn't put down and ended up buying the whole series (Which sucked compared to the first), was "Ender's Game", by Orson Scott Card.

Magnificent Book, and I enjoyed it to no end. Reminded me how it felt to be that age again, and how it just sucked getting older with more responsiblities.

Though I didn't find a connection with Ender, I did with Bean, in the first novel, and later with Ender's Shadow.

Excellent book, I highly recommend it!

I will definately check em out. I'm always looking for new books to enjoy!! :)

Why not? Name a thread after a geek browser and you get a nerd thread, makes perfect sense ;-)

I read the first series of Dragon Lance books when they first came out. Raistlin was my favorite too.

Gonna go download 8.0 now. Not expecting much difference though.

Never got into the Dragonlance books myself.. tried a few but didn't enjoy them... probably cause i tried them out of order.


I'm more of a David Eddings fan. BUT if you like fantasy George RR martin has a great series out and he's finally putting out the fourth book in a couple months.

Seems quite a bit faster. I don't like the default tabbing but turned it off.

I think it's really really good:

It runs using both the Firefox and IE engines, it'll have the best of both and the worst of both I guess...


Now this thread is getting somewhere :yowsa:

Just the worst... see above :(

I have Martin's first book I bought a while back and intend to read it sometime this summer.


While there are Dragonlance books you can enjoy out of order or without background info it is MUCH better to start from the beginning.

Here's a link so you can start with the beginning of the vast series of books available from them. Dragonlance Chronicles Trilogy


Also, for both you and Anthony I also highly suggest Carol Berg and the Transformation, Revelation, and Restoration trilogy. Extremely well done and I plan to check out her other series of books when I finish the third in this trilogy.

Thanks man.

I was looking for something new for the summer. I'll check them out.

And maybe i'll give the dragon lance books another shot

I think you'll really enjoy the martin books... couldn't put them down. And was really pissed when i found out like 2 years ago when i finished it that the fourth book was going to take a long time

Just the worst... see above :( [/b][/quote]
nutscrape gets pwned :lol:

Legends ruled! I still think that the chronicles rule as that what got me started on reading them all.

B

i use avant browser. its just tabbed IE, but has some cool features. like when you accidently close your browser with all the tabs open, it reopens the tabs that were open. for what its worth.


and as for the rest of this nonsense. homos, the lot of you!:)

I'm a diehard netscape user and even liked 8.0 at first, but found some annoying flaws and reverted back to 7.1

Those flaws wouldn't bother a die hard IE user :yowsa:

What are the flaws?

I've been using 8.0 for a few days now and like it better than 7.1 .. so far.
