I have not seen such problems with 6.1, but then I decided the upgrade to
Netscape 4.7 wasn't worth it, and stuck with 4.61.
Browsers have been an annoyance for a while, for me. If anyone knows a lot
about the modern requirements of HTML and plug-ins (but not a Christmas
Tree of Browser, Composer, Mailer and ready-made pop-up access for the ad

coding, and there are a couple of projects which could be picked up from an
older state.
