...snip... > 3. Am I missing out on anything by still trudging along with 4.78 ? ...snip... Do you like the Netscape mail client? Does it do what you want it to do reliably? Why change - just point your account settings to your new isp and continue on. HOWEVER If you like Netscape's mail client and want support for multiple accounts as well as better web standards support in your browser you might be interested in an Open Source solution - Mozilla. It is almost identical to Netscape - based on the same codebase in fact. It gives you a lot more control over your web experience(you can block pop-ups for example, or filter cookies by URL, etc) and the mail interface is almost identical to what you're used to. As a matter of fact Netscape 7.01 is based on Mozilla 1.0.2. I'm using 1.2.1 with no problems on both MacOS 9 and Linux. There is a command to import your address books, mail, and settings from Communicator 4.xx. For more info check out http://www.mozilla.org or a direct link to the 15MB installer: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.2.1/mozilla-macos9-1.2.1-full.bin sorry to drift off topic - although moz is very useable on this 200mhz 604e(x2) under 9.xx, tom -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
