Thanks, Jerry for your suggestions and help with cookie deletion. I have known how to delete one cookie at a time from Explorer, and I still can't figure out how to delete them all. But, I think it doesn't matter.
I was finally able to squeeze an email from an actual technician out of PayPal, and he said this: > The error you are encountering is a well-known and > documented issue with Internet Explorer's inability to recognize valid > security certificates. I was puzzled and skeptical, since I have been using Explorer with two banks and every site that I have ever bought something from with to security certificate problems. And, with PayPal until three weeks ago. And, I have similar errors using Netscape 4.75. Then, I did some searching and found blogs where people are having the same problems as I am. The word is that PayPal and Ebay are actively trying to squeeze out Mac users, starting with OS9.x and earlier. One monopolist helping another, the Corporate Way. People on this list probably have heard this already. So, PayPal recommended Netscape 7.0.2 and Mozilla 1.2.1-- which I rejected after reading how buggy it is. And I found Mozilla 1.3.1 by WaMCom (2003-7-23 issue). Is is the personal project of apparently one programmer, who has taken the orphaned Mozilla and has apparently gone a long way to making it an actual user ready product for Mac OS9, and maybe even 8, I'm not sure. They say it is largely de-bugged and https ready. Since I am an extremely low-skilled user, stability, buglessness and lack of software conflict are always my goals. http://wamcom.org/latest-131/ Are there any boneyard users on this list who have experience with either of these browsers? Or with both of them? Any horror stories or warm and fuzzy stories about either would be helpful. And, any good or bad about the Opera version that is for OS9.x. PayPal didn't recommend this one, so I shy away since I am trying to solve a PayPal problem. And, I have found the Low End Mac listserv, which I suppose I will join.
