Art, I had Netscape 4.7x (can't remember the last digit) installed on my 9600/g4/450 and 7500/g3/250 running OS 8.6 and ended up moving to 7.0 for the same reason. A while back I tried 6 but it was a total dog so I dumped it the next day. Because of this I was hesitant to try 7, but having used it for a couple months now I must say it's very stable. The only thing is that it seems a little slower than 4.7x, especially page scrolling. -+-+-+- RPM -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
