And I'm telling you, that in that two megs, there is not
currently much usability. I'm a pretty sophisticated user. I
can build a computer from scratch, install and configure
anything, use any operating system, solve just about any
problem which arises with Windows, etc....etc...I make
Norton Ghost images regularly to rescue myself from any
fiascos quickly and easily...
yet I can't use Netscape 6.1 for mail and news without a ton
of headaches and annoyances, so I'm in the process of
deciding whether to nuke it entirely, or install 4.78, or
leave 6.1 installed for website testing purposes.
