There is nothing wrong with using Netscape 1.XX. If it's sufficient
for the individual's surfing needs, by all means, stick with it!
Besides, anything beats giving in to Microsoft and using M$IE.

My stay with Mindlink expires in February (if they don't keep
extending our memberships everytime they have a technical problem). I
don't know if I'm going to jump ship and join another ISP, but I'm
beginning to look around. Since the iStar take-over, their POP server
has been really unreliable among other things. I don't know if the
problems are to do with iStar or not, but I just don't like the
thought of being involved with a big company. I'll turn into nothing
but an account number for them.

If you're having problems and the technical support or feedback people
have not been replying, try emailing someone there directly. I've
always had a satisfactory reply when I do that. And don't forget to
keep your cool and ask nicely.   :)


Happy surfin',
