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', Anthony K.
