To the original poster: upgrade to 4.79 (from your 4.73). You probably will find 6.2.x too unstable to be useful (it's suffering from *huge* bloat as well).

You can try it, and if you hate it, trash it (so be Under OS X I've found every version of Netscrape 6.x to be unusable because it'll crash within minutes of opening. The other problem that all post 4.7.x Netscrapes suffer from is a very poor interface. Under OS X I've found that windows don't behave properly, they don't close cleanly and that the interface is, well, to put it mildly, a throwback to the early days of the web. Under OS 9 I'm too scared of a crash to use Netscrape. Once bitten, twice shy. I recently deleted Netscape 6.2 off my drive because I was so fed up with accidentally opening it (and having to wait aeons for the app to load, and facing the not-so-nice prospect of a computer crash) instead of 4.79 or Explorer 5.0. PS To the lady running "5.5". I really hope you meant 4.5 because otherwise you're running Windows ;). If you're running 4.5 I'd suggest upgrading to 5.0. It's hands down the smoothest Classic browser available (NS 6.x will never be smooth on anything but a G4/1000... it's too damn big). -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
