Thought maybe someone had had this experience and > could shed some light.. Weird. Dunno. I'd suggest running something other than Netscape if it's a high-enough powered box. Or rightgrading to another version -- I liked the old 3.x browsers a lot, the earlier 4.x series (4.05?) were pretty cool as well. My older PII-180 system doesn't care much for Mozilla, but runs the older Netscape browsers just fine (well, within limits of stability). My PIII/600 laptop tends toward Mozilla. Otherwise, I'd watch performance and see what/why Netscape's crapping with WindowMaker. Though my experience is that Netscape just likes to crap out no matter what. -- Karsten M.
