<still off topic> Scott, you may want to disable java (in edit, preferences, advanced), that should keep you away from constant reboots. I wouldn't say cable modems are several years down the road. I'm from Belgium and a friend told me that a small provider there started offering cable modem services. I think the problem in europe will be the network itself. We have huge backbones here in the US but I don't think many countries in Europe are ready to handle hundreds of users surfing at 1Mb/sec. If I'm not mistaken, in Belgium, the whole country is running on a 50Mb backbone... P2

Hmm. I'm using Netscape 4.03 and haven't experienced a crash or "black on black" pages. Must be one of the benefits of leaving a clean life. I develop vaporware with Bill Gates' latest tools, so I find new and creative ways to crash my system each and every day, but Netscape hasn't failed me lately. For those of you that must know, I'm on Windows 95 with all the service packs installed and the "new, improved" Winsock and the latest version of COM (OLE) installed. Oh, and the last release of the common controls. Something in that mess of patches has really helped the stability of Netscape. Couldn't tell you which one, though.
