Mark--I can't agree with you more. And I can't possibly tell you how
disappointed I was with my attempt at using Netscape 6. I sent away for
Netscape's CD rather than download the whole package. Once installed, I
found Netscape 6 to be:
* Very slow (although it did tell me it needed a minimum of 233 MHz
and 64 MB of Ram).
* My Logitech mouse was no longer able to page...
* My attempt at doing e-mail off-line failed. Never did figure out
where the e-mail went?
* When I un-installed Netscape 6, I found that it had corrupted
Windows98 thumbnail view for jpg and gif files.
* I played with Netscape 6 for about two days and gave up...
So I'm now back running Netscape 4.7 and much happier with it.
Apparently I never reached the point you did; however, I'm also very
disappointed to learn about the Java problem...
Have a nice day, Gary
