I am not getting involved with the AOL browser controversy *but* I
was chagrined at Chris' suggestion that the CIS web site is "best
viewed with Netscape 3.0" - I see it fine with Netscape 2.02 and have
made a conscious decision *not* to download 3.0 since it uses so
much more memory...I don't have any to spare with all my other
'stuff' and until I see a need to upgrade with expensive more memory
or buy a zip drive (I can dream), I'll keep on with this.
Newer isn't necessarily better or more advantageous to a lot of us
and the AOL users of which I am *not* one have been through enough
without more comments from those who insist they are not
computer snobs...."life is a mirror in which we see only ourselves"
too much of the time.
Disappointed at the tenor on this list at times (and I don't mean
a male singing voice).
