If you haven't done this already, try these steps: 1) Go to Options - Network Preferences 2) Click on Clear memory cache 3) Click on Clear disk cache 4) Still a problem go to general preferences Appearance and change followed links expiration to a small number to clean up old followed links 5) get out of Netscape and re-enter 6) Still a problem - delete you cookies.txt and netscape.hst files 7) Still a problem - reinstall Netscape Let me know if still a problem.

Patrick, Was accessing the net via my PMac, loved it because I have a 20 inch monitor with my PMac. Was running Netscape, but it kept crashing. So, since moving back to Texas, now accessing net via my PC (only have a 17 inch monitor) with IE 4.0. On occasion, I get a program fault with IE 4.0. This forces me to close and reload it. However, it does not freeze the puter like Nestscape did my PMac. So, I do not have to reboot. I stay connected to the net and just have to reload IE. Regards, LG

Patrick, I've never traded Ag. Would not, either. Like I just said in PM to FredE, the genuine commodities buyers have stuff like US Dept of Agriculture satellite photos available of actual fields of growing things to study with a practiced eye. But it doesn't take much to see that very hot weather and drought generally will cause food prices to rise, although if such would actually affect grocery bills much, I don't know. This is interesting stuff, but way out of my area of knowledge. We have the occassional coffee or lettuce price spike, like we've had in recent years, but one or two commodities in short supply probably aren't enough to actually affect CPI. But if drought and high heat were fairly widespread at critical times prior to harvest, I could see food prices having an impact on CPI. Dunno really.
