Cheryl: I've got 6.1 running no problem on my G4/400 at work, so, as to being on a G3/upgraded, YMMV. It's using 28 MB of RAM on my machine, and, while I dream of the days of Navigator 1.13 running in 2MB of RAM, I'm not dissatisfied with it.
It's possible that Navigator is too much app for an upgraded 8500, which is ridiculous, but.... It *is* an improvement, but the worst parts of 6.0 were serious bugs, in addition to crappy performance. :-) Lincoln > From: "Cheryl Hanna" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (PCI PowerMacs) > Date: Wed, 03 Oct 2001 11:43:22 -0400 > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (PCI PowerMacs) > Subject: Netscape 6.1 > > At some previous unknown date and time in the past Cheryl Hanna wrote: >> Netscape 6 is a known and notorious dog. > > I was challenged onlist about this statement.
