Netscape isn't the program that had the holes in it so the "worm" messed
up your computer.

You can thank Mr. Gates and his employees for that.

That's right, no **** is entirely useless; at the very least it can relieve
tension.

Oh it was Bill's fault eh. I suppose that you'd blame the manufacturer of
your
pill if you were raped and became pregnant. Not the rapist.
Run along and play now.

No. It's the M$ rubbish that you're using as an "operating system" that has
caused your problems. Netscape's actually quite good - though it has now
been superceded by Mozilla since the AOL debacle.

Get a proper operating system, learn how to use it, and stop complaining.

that is correct. I beleive Nescape is using moz 1.3 engine though.

Mozzilla is smaller and faster and I think more stable than Netscape.

Gaffo...

Just bought a toy from ebay.. may be just the ticket for you. It's a nice
marine ship-shore radio.. the old MW stuff.. made for 2-3 MHz.. I'm going to
modify it (very easy to do with these) to work on the AMBCB. After I modify
it, I'll offer it to you for a reasonable price.. I'm betting it is about a
25 watt output, but I'll likely lower that a bit so it can operate on a 100%
duty cycle for broadcasting, plus make the audio chain capable of good
fidelity..

WOW sounds fabulous..................keep in touch. I'd love to buy it
when you get it working!! ;-).

As you can tell..................I re-istalled windoze, got all my
"core" apps working and it seems pretty stable so far......... ;-).


I'm happy ;-).

You wish. They're using a neutered version of Mozilla 1.0.



True of Netscape 7.0, and some previous.

Netscape 7.1 is built on Mozilla 1.4.

If you want a REALLY snapppy browser, look at Mozilla Firebird.
It's in pre-milestone release currently at v 0.6. But it's small,
very fast, and very stable.


I've been using it as my default browser, with 1.4s mail client
(also currently under revision).

There is an installer version of Firebird on the website, but
it's hard to find.

Here's a link to the page with an unoffical Windows installer
build. It's written by the same guys who build the official
installers for Mozilla, and it makes all the necessary registry
entries so you can install plug-ins. I've had no problems with it
since install, but this is still a pre 1.0 release, so if you're
inclined to bitch...you may want to pass.

There is, however, and enormous amount of help on the Mozilla
site, if you like to experiment.

Both C/Net and PC magazine say that Mozilla is the best product
out there for browsing. And the mail client is rapidly becoming a
handy tool, as well. They also say that if Firebird is not your
default browser, then you need do some explaining as to why not.

But, there are the nay sayers out there...so if you're the kind
that makes up his/her own mind, then the horse's mouth is he

www.mozilla.org


Including the inside story about AOL/Netscape and Mozilla.


Enjoy.


Now, back to our regularly scheduled cat-fight.

Yes...well,....how very clever of me to have forgotten the link.
Too many hours in high hover...apparently.

Here's the page with the Windoze installer:

Ref: MS OS problems dumped on Netscape..

If you're running an MS OS then the issue is most likely
with that system. That OS is still spighetti coding and
it violates all the rules in that it has "hooks" into
the OS by an "application" program...notably the browser
I.E. Netscape cannot use those "hooks" and is not as
likely to hang up the OS as IE. Also, the paths to the
OS on IE are the root cause of many of these problems with
the hackers...it provides an easy route to the OS.

It might be wise to take a look at the Linux OS..the thing
works, has a number of browsers available. Look at
Mandrake-Linux...I've been running on since early 1998.
No hackers, virus, bugs, worms, snakes...

Good luck,

Leonard...

It renders pages far better than Mozilla does.

What cookie controls are you looking for? 0.6 has pretty good cookie
management, much better than IE.

I am sold on it because it renders all pages well, without IE's constant
security problems, and without Mozilla's bloat.

Actually it does. Go to the Tools menu, click on Options.


Firebird is still a pre-milestone work in progress. Expect some
very sophisticated tools as things develop.

Depends which version. The current build is apparently based on Mozilla
1.4. The full User Agent of the present Netscape 7.1 build reads:

They are not to be visited or patroned.

There's no reason to use Netscape, either. They've neutered the anti-
popup features and a few others to make it more palatable to AOL. Use
the real Mozilla or Firebird instead.


I think you might be a few versions behind. The last few builds of
Netscape (from 7.01 IIRC) have had full functionality if the popup
manager restored. In previous versions it could be done quite easily by
adding a line to prefs.js, but now it's back in the GUI (Edit |
Preferences).

What's more, Netscape 7.2 has a *very* effective junk-mail manager. It's
already quite good "out of the box," but actually learns from
experience; if it marks a message incorrectly and you change it, the
program remembers for next time.

It was a real life-saver on the recent spate of sobig.f virus emails.

valhalla

Well.........it all relative!!

I've been using Opera since version 2 back in 98, and with each version
they have become more compatible with IE's version of HTML (without
loosing W3W compliant standard HTML).

Version 7 is 99.99 compatible. Same story with Mozilla.

In the last 4-months I've run accross one site which was partially
garbled..................guess...............yep M$'s site. (or some
part of it).

anyway that this stage there are very few website which will not load right.

In fact an old IE3 or IE4 will give less compatiblity with newer sites
than the new alternatives.


You're right, compatibility will never be total, but it is good enough
for me at this point. And when Mozilla locksup my OS doesn't go with it
like when using IE.


peace.

But why would anyone want to go to a website like that? If they do that with
their website, imagine how messed up all their other business practices or
ideas are.

I also turn java and cookies off so that I don't get any websites that are
programmed to only work with those on. This way I end up happy with all the
businesses I deal with as they are smart to program sites that work with ALL
browsers at ALL settings and if they are smart enough to figure that out, then
they must run their businesses smart too.

Boycott not necessary, you CAN'T visit them, the sites don't work. In
essence, they have set up the boycott themselves preventing a big slice of
the population from being ABLE to view their site.

Not with the old version I am using. Just turn off Javascript and no
pop up ads.

Don't get the latest versions of anything, including operating systems,
unless you like getting viruses and spyware all the time.
