As far as I amconcerned, for MacOS 9, it is the only decent browser - I do not like Explorer 5 orNetscape 6. And, as everyone else has mentioned, there is a 404 error when usingthat browser. It appears as though the link to the products page is/products/index.html, but when Netscape arrives at that location, it redirects to/products/styles.inc. This is the reason for the 404 error.Additionally, there is another issue with Netscape 4 browsers when accessing thesite (not trying to nitpick, just trying to help). Netscape 4 redraws backgroundimages very inefficiently. While it does not have a problem with renderingbackground images of at least 10x10, it does have a problem with background imagesas small as yours (1x2). Such small background images cause the page to load veryslowly, and produces a lowering curtain effect. As the background image is beingrendered, you can actually see it being drawn on the screen. On my 400MHz G3Powerbook, it takes the background image about 15 seconds to load, during whichnothing else on the computer happens (the clock in the menu bar does not eventick). I know that there is more to the problem than just the browser (such as theOS), but I thought I would mention it because it does have a simple solution.Dennis-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
