   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.
