I to have been pleased with this ver of Voyager.. I have been able to log
onto hotmail, and excite.. With hotmail, I just get one extra screen
telling me about updateing to netscape 5.0... I laugh at that every time..
haha .. But I do not have to go through all that other stuff that you were
talking about.. after that screen, I go on as normal.. excite logs right
on .. no problem at all..
well, thats all..
AJ
