Re: Netscape Warning

Oh thank goodness you said that because I was wondering how in hades you
were doing that with a browser.

BTW - who are you using to access the newsgroups? Comcast is dropping
Giganews and I am ANNOYED

Well, that was one of the dumbest things I've said in a long time. I
used to be a die-hard Netscape user. My brain fried. I use Thunderbird
to read newsgroups, and love it for email as well.

Firefox allows you to read newsgroups. I use it for that all the time.

It is a nice browser. Another you might want to look at is Chrome. A
new one from Google (free). A lot of serious geeks are a bit concerned
about its stability and potential security issues. I don't use it
regularly, but do make sure that my sites work in it.

IE should be toast. It is a terrible web browser and more and more
people are turning away from it. As are programmers who design add-ons
for websites.

When Netscape stopped working for me about a year-and-a half ago, I
switched over to Firefox and then to SeaMonkey. They are both
Mozilla, the same as Netscape, and look almost exactly the same.
They both imported all my bookmarks and e-mail addresses without
having to do anything. Plus the get updated regularly. I use IE
only when I absolutely have to (say, if a site won't open in one of
the other browsers).

OK -- here's my problem -- I use Netscape 7.2 to read my newsgroups
and that's the ONLY thing I use it for. If it goes belly up, I will
be S.O.L for reading the groups. I don't understand the intricacies
of all this stuff **at all** the best I can do is understand that I
pay news.individual.net to provide me with access to the newsgroups
and then I go through Netscape to be able to actually read them.
So, if Netscape 7.2 goes bye-bye, then I will need some other
internet access "thing" to be able to read the info provided by
news.individual.net. When it comes to having to download some new
"thing" and then trying to set the whole &$#(*$&^$ thing up, I get
VERY pissy because just about none of them are easy for MOI to use.
VBS -- I can guarantee I will be posting here screaming for help
finding a way to actually access the newsgroups and then figuring out
how to use the *($*$&% thing. To make matters worse, I am having to
try and learn how this VISTA "thing" works! OY THE PAIN -- LOLOL
