Oh where, oh where (and when) have I been > led astray! Ever since AOheLl-Time Warner took over Netscape they have been no better or no worse than Netscrash. I'm so !@$)(*^ annoyed by Netscrash 4.8 & 4.79 (don't even dare touch older or newer versions) -- my OS 9 install is pretty rock solid now that I don't fiddle with installing new programs with the sole exception of Netscrash. I've been using NS' Composer and FTP capabilities to manage a little web page for a course that I TA and I find that I have a *lot* of complete 100% freezes (mouse stops moving) which I don't have with *any* other apps. I can either be in NS or working in another app and all of a sudden the computer stops dead in its tracks. I would like to attribute it to something else, but it is 100% affiliated with NS being open, and doesn't relate to Composer functionality. I've had NS just sitting there doing nothing (haven't used Composer, just opened it thinking I would) and the freeze happened. Freezes simply *do not* happen with it closed, and I've only been having these freezes since I've been NS again (& usually it has to be open ~1/2 hour for this to happen). Anyway, I'd be cursing a lot more if I was using one of the newer versions -- they are even *less* stable (and far, FAR less Mac-like) than NS 4.7.9/4.8. In the end it comes down to this: Microsoft makes some top-notch applications for Macintosh which conform to (or extend) Apple's GUI guidelines. MS IE 5.1 is 100% Mac-interface. Netscape 4.x is 98% Mac interface. NS 6.x/7.x is 30% Mac interface, 70% crap (i.e. Windows port). Note though: Chimera 0.6 is a Mozilla (Netscape)-based browser that's shaping up to be a very zippy little browser that conforms 98% to Mac GUI guidelines (I'm still waiting for command-click to move around the window contents... IE 5.2 on OS X 10.2 and Opera 5.0 on OS 9 certainly have the edge over the competition with that single feature). L8r, Eric.
