Hello all,
I have been following this for the last few days, and I just don't
understand why I am so special :)
I use Netscape 4.5 the 128 bit version. I downloaded it at work when I
was bored one day along with just about every windowmaker theme I could
find. I didn't install Netscape from the SuSE cd's, I always tend to
download it from netscapes site cause I use the 128 bit version. I have
been using Netscape for mail, browsing...etc...for a very long time. I
first used it around the beta's for version 1.0 and I have never had a
problem with it. I have been reading all these weird things in the posts
about crashs..etc...and I never get it.
About certain " features " .. I just disabled it's ability to retrieve
my mail without asking..and set every preference in netscape as detailed
to what I like as I could. I do agree that it's annoying that when you
are downloading a file or going to a huge website that you can't check
your mail cause the button isn't usable..I can live with that. I never
have it crash on me, but I will agree that it's a memory hog..oh well, I
have 256 megs of ram..let it play :)
I write at least 200 e-mails a day and it doesn't belch at me at all, I
don't know if it is because I downloaded it from netscape and didn't
install it from the SuSE cd's *shrug* I don't know..oh well...I guess it
must be some variable like the video card or another piece of hardware
that is causing the problems...well, that's about it from this Netscape
user :)
