I have a 64M Very Low Quality Testbed computer for looking at these
things.� Even though I was on a slow computer, it performed reasonable
fast after the initial setup
I used the archiver to unpack the software into /package
This script is called by the KDE icon I set up for it
>--------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
cd /package
./netscape
cd ~
>--------------------------------------------------------------------
AOL instant messsenger doesn't work--whether shipped broken or simply
unimplemented, I don't care.� This seems to be a leading feature, AIM
doesn't work.
https won't work--this errors out
My favorite killer sites, www.computergate.com and www.angelfire.com
seem to let it pass, except you cannot place an order without https.� I
considered these sites hostile to Netscape 4.72
By trying https while I am composing a letter I was able to crash my
message--it was inaccessible but closing it and clicking reply brought
it back.
It is possible to configure.� I do not like the "Master Password" concept
it has to allow you to store passwords for many sites and email accounts
in a single location and to activate them all with a single master
password.� I turned it off.
I hate the sidebar.� It is as much fun as the Channel Bar in Windows
98.� It provides news and a bunch of things and is customizable.� I
customized it by removing everything and pushing its right edge to its
left edge.
Then on mail I discovered that the silly sidebar is necessary because
your accounts and mailbox categoris are listed there.� Also, when you
delete all the messages in your inbox, you are sent to the LOCAL (their
definition) box where you are shown more news ...� that was the first
thing I had deleted from the sidebar.� NOt only is this confusing, it
also means your "Get Messages" won't work because you are not in an
account linked to a pop server or Imap server.
It DOES provide multiple mailing accounts with each having its own
servers and defaults.
Frankly, Mozilla M14 was and is better.
