I tried Netscape 6.0 a couple of times and I got so bored sitting waiting waiting waiting for the damn thing to start up so I removed the program and went back to Netscape 4.75. Thanks for the suggestions about N 6.1 or 6.2 & Opera. I'll try them out.

One of the reasons I have preferred using N to IE is the messages and progress bar which tells me how the page loading is going. Nothing worse than watching your computer wondering whether it has stalled, or something else is wrong or whether it is just a slow loading page.

IE has probably done something similar by now, but I haven't tried it unless N was having trouble getting into Mudcat.
