      From: sherwindu@comcast.net              I agree with Andy that Netscape 7.2 runs fine for me. Actually I'm running       Windows       2000 Professional. I'm also hanging on to my Netscape 4.7 because       I like the way it handles emails. It cannot handle some of the newer Java of       certain       web sites, and for that, I go to 7.2. Also, for the past few months, I cannot       do ANY       browsing with 4.7. Seems like Netscape turned something off to disable 4.7       browsing. It's probably their way of forcing you to upgrade your software.        The       hangup issue has not been explained, since it only started a few months ago,       but       since it happens only rarely, I can't get too excited about it.               Sherwin D.              Sharon Cooke wrote:              > sherwindu wrote:       >       > > While trying to access certain web sites using Netscape, sometimes these       sites       > > do not respond and hang up the connection.
