My web browser of choice is Netscape.
I am using version 4.5 but there are some good reasons to upgrade to 4.51.
I just have not gotten around to it yet....soon, real soon.........
The folks at Netscape have changed their site to allow it to be you "one-stop"
entrance to the net.
There are some tricks built into netscape.
| Padlock - lower left corner | Use this to see the security settings for the current page. |
| Small Plug lower left | Ever get trapped into one of those cycles where you close a screen and by doing that... ANOTHER screen or TWO open. Use this plug-icon to disconnect from the net and close your netscape screen without a new screen opening. |
| Grilled area to left of Navigator wheel | Pops up a floating tool bar. Useful if you need a larger status line. This menu can be set to float on top of all tasks. |
| Netscape Icon upper right | Takes you to netscape's home page. Well Duh !! |
| First Icon on Personal Tools bar - Instant Messanger | Provides connection to AOL's Instant Message service. Works like ICQ. |
| What's Related Icon to right of location box on location toolbar. | Provides a lot of information about the current site and related sites. This is a major new feature of Netscape 4.50. To understand how it works. |
