Dear Tracy,
I'm running several versions of Netscape and IE on my G3 both under Mac OS
8 and Windows 95 (under Virtual PC) and also on a Micron Pentium 100 and a
Compaq Pentium 120 laptop and I almost never have a crash or lockup under
either program on any platform.  WHen I do the lockup has been IE and its
always because IE doesn't know what to do with a bit-o-Javascript
programming.

I teach through a Java Web Interface online live and have been meeting with
classes and doing other business in Diversity University using that Java
Web Interface http://www.du.org:8888 (click on "Integrated Interface"
button) and have had no crashes or freeze ups ever...yesterday I was online
through Netscape 4.5 under Mac OS 8 using the Java Interface from noon to 3
p.m. with no crashes.  In November I taught 2 - 4 hour long classes from my
Compaq laptop through Netscape 4.5 with the Java Web interface and had no
crashes...I did however have my ISP hang up on my after 2 hours for which I
seriously b****d them out and they have corrected the problem.

I have had a problem with MS Word crashing when I open it with Netscape
running at the same time...but this only happens about once every 2-3 hours
and I think its related to conflicts in memory uses by both programs.
