[aclug-L] Re: any other browsers? Alternatives to Netscape?

If you want to stop the netscape crashes, disable Java from within netscape 
preferences.  That is what is causing the crashes.  Of course, the downfall 
is that you won't have the ability to see java applets, etc.  Isn't this 
where some smart elic says you can't have your cake and eat it too....:)
