[OT: msn] George is it impossible to set up the home page of the browser other than MSN? Maybe even a local page? The server may be busy, slow, and full of graphical doo-dads that the MS kiddies insist on: if you navigate only through the pages and allow the loading to finish it will be frustrating. I connect via ibm.net, they just give a straight TCP/IP stack and netscape comes up pointed to www.ibm.net - which I can change if I want. While loading the page I usually interrupt by pointing to a hotlist page - I never see the home page much, unless I've stepped away. Also while reading the news pages people reference here, the text and most buttons come down first so that can be shortened quite a bit, by interrupting the browser. I have heard that a user attempting to access msn through netscape generally gets his system crashed. So you're stuck with win95 and IE if you sign up with MS. Greg
