Steve, Your friend may be right. Java issue most likely? Do you have MRJ 2.2.6? Here's a link for it: <http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/3299>
Have you tried NS 4.79? NS 4.04 is just too old not to have problems/issues with a lot of sites. Latest icab would be 2.9.8. That's about as small a browser as you're going to find. If things don't work with it........ Don't know if updating to 8.6 will help with java. Here's a link to download 8.6 but it's 34meg so dialup might be a problem for you. <http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Engl ish-North_American/Macintosh/System/Mac_OS_8.6_Update/Mac_OS_8.6_Update.smi.bi n> I still say you are way short on real memory & are always going to have browser & internet issues.
