Re: [q] Sorry, I won't do google groups
I have used Gmail on my PB 520 with Netscape (don't remember if it's version 3 or 4) without many problems. Every now and then I'll get a broken pipe error, but not too often.

[q] Sorry, I won't do google groups.
Indeed many of us are now boycotting google due to their capitulation to the Chinese beliefs that: 1. Their citizens should be protected from truth and opinion 2. That dogs and cats are perfect substitutes for animal fur 3. That mandatory abortions rather than mandatory sterilization is appropriate 4. That yellow, blue and green rivers flowing into Russia are OK 5. That the Japanese still owe them 'something' 6. That after the tsunami land grabbing in SE Asia rather than helping victims was cool 7. That drilling for oil in Japanese waters is their right 8. That Tibet does not exist 9. That imports from the US should have a 25% tariff 10. That exports to the US should have a 2% tariff 11. That Taiwan should be brought back into the 'mother land' et cetera .. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
