Charles： Oh； right。 Well； personally； I only use Netscape。 It's the best and besides I don'tlike using anything from Microsoft。

Kristina： That much I think even I can do。
Charles： I'm sure you can。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 23 Mike and Bill Arrive
