Re: trashing Netscape (was Netscape 4.71 Is Rock Solid & Fast!)
Hmmm, it still cant browse a download dir without losing the downloads name
seem to suffer from memory loss , forgets the default download dir
and sometimes a news server dissapears from the list only to
reappear on subsequent
openings.
Fortunately my car runs without software, i wouldnt go near it otherwise :)
cheers
