Good Grief! Why are you using Netscape 4.01. It
isn't compatible with many sites. Get Mozilla's
Thunderbird and Mozilla Firefox. They are free,
and both have better security than the equivalent
Microsoft products. I gave up on Netscape and
switched to Mozilla 2-3 years ago. The only
problem was the long download with my very slow
connection, Install is easy, quick, and painless,
updates are small with short downloads.

The only website I use it for here in Australia is the Bureau of
Meteorology weather radar, and it works perfectly well. I prefer it for
email because it is simple and straightforward, and unlike later
Netscape offerings it does not continually thrust news in my face.

For banking, Centrelink (Aust Govt), and other secure sites as well as
Google I use Internet Explorer.

Will the stuff you recommend

1 work Ok on W98SE with 64 Mb RAM
2 Co-exist with Netscape and IE so I don't have to uninstall them
3 work with banking and other secure sites - 128 bit security?

Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated.

Yep, or so the site says (64MB is the minimum) for both Firefox and Thunderbird. Firefox and Thunderbird exist fine with my IE. As you may know, automatic updating from MS requires IE. When I first installed Thunderbird, it transfered all of my stuff from Netscape automatically with no problem. And yes it has 128 bit security.
Can't imagine anyone still using only 64 MB of RAM.
