Bruce and other G-listers,
You got it, It was Netscape 6.2 vs. Mozilla 1.0 and 1.1, in my
case. I figure that all the crap AOL piled on was at fault :-). When I
went up to Netscape 6 and MacOSX, I had been using Netscape 4.77 with
MacOs9.2.x and knew that Mozilla had gone open source. I was (and am)
trying to avoid any use of Microsoft products. I had been happy with
the older Netscape in MacOs prior to X. I am very happy with Mozilla
and scared of Netscape...it did teach me what kernel panic looked
like :-). And, I got to buy my very own copy of Norton Utilities to
fix the mess. This all happened last January so much could have
changed. I carefully tried Mozilla several months after giving up on
Netscape. I use Mozilla for reading newsgroups and would use it for
mail if I could find a conversion utility.
cheers,
Randy
