Well, one can just refuse to use it. (Well, almost.) I use Netscape 4.7.
I like the way it handles bookmarks. You can save or find a bookmark just
by pushing the mouse through a series of menus, unlike the Explorer style
where you have to open a box, scroll a list, then select a folder. For some
strange reason Netscape adopted this model for versions 6 and 7. And
Opera uses it, too. Opera is neat because it opens one large window,
then each browser window is within that window (like TS charts:-)
But it has that lousy bookmark scheme.
I surf with Netscape 95% of the time. A few sites don't work right.
Like Tradestation World. Sometimes streaming audio/video don't work.
But other than that Netscape is fine.

Yes, I have avoided Outlook until now. But it is the only email client that
can get through the ATT Worldnet firewall to retrieve mail. It's actually
not bad, except for being a virus portal. It handles multiple accounts
well. But it won't display the Omega Digests as single messages - it holds
them as attachments and then opens each message in the digest individually.
ARRRGGGGHHH! So I read the digest through another account.
With Netscape:-)
Does anyone know how to make Outlook Express display the Omega Digest
as a digest?
