1. Paypal/Ebay have done some upgrading on their end that leaves the 9.x browsers behind. 2. Something has changed on your end. If you've not noticed any other changes, then I'd have to say it's likely that option #1 is the culprit. I'm seeing problems like this one more and more with my OS 9.x clients as technology moves forward. This is why I'm always "nagging" people that it's four years now ... time to consider moving on and up. The rest of the web is not going to stand still just because you want to keep using the same computer you used last decade. IE was discontinued ages ago, and if you can't get iCab or Mozilla (old version)/Netscape to work then I don't have any other browsers to offer as alternatives. Paypal/Ebay are under no obligation to support defunct operating systems, and I suspect that improved security technology is the main reason for the change. If you're using computers to help you make money, there's even more of an impetus to keep your machine a bit more current than a circa-1996 Mac. The reality is that things change, and a money-making machine has got to be able to change with them, meaning more frequent replacement than someone with a "email and games" oriented computing lifestyle might have to. I'd suggest you treat yourself to an eMac, it's economical, great value for money and will bring you into the 21st century. _Chas_ Well nothing changed on my end so it has to be Ebay/Paypal and now ING Direct. I wonder if my bank account web page works. As for your comments about outdated computers I have to admit it holds water. Completely ridiculous but it does hold water in this day and age As for my iMac I guess I will have to load OS X but what version? Jaguar, Panther or the new Tiger. Once Tiger is officially out and being used will I have to throw my iMac out on the curb with my 5400/180 because Tiger won't load on an iMac DV? It's not a decade old yet. This is just another straw on the camels back for me. I have been using the mac since I was doing design on a brand new SE/30 and it has been downhill since. Bad Geo modems, bad designed Powerbooks, crappy Performa's, bad iPod batteries, problematic iBooks, bad PAV boards in 6 month old iMacs and on and on and on. Now my 5 1/2 year old iMac can't load a web page with any type of security. Great! MaxTek -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
