[Bradford] Web Browsers

[Devo Too]

Thanks all for reading and John and Steve for replying.

Turned out the laptop had serious problems and broke when I tried to 
swap browsers. All fixed now. It has ended up running Seamonkey, not so 
much by choice as by that's where it was at when I actually identified 
and fixed the problems. So there is a sweetly working laptop to run the 
browser on.

Cheers,

Mike
