Must be a bug then. Hope tghey fix it by next release. It may be doing 
something particular to Pentium architecture and screwing up when it hits an 
AMD. They should check into that. Are they careful in light of writing it for 
AMD's too?

I tried Netscape 6 and just didn't like the look & feel. Don't like MSIE 
either.

All I need is a browser. I prefer Xnews for a reader and Pegasus for mail. 
Sounds like it could be worth a try.
