I believe it is Netscape 7.1. There are some things I can't do on
it....like see where cabins are on Orbitz, but other than that I don't
have too many non-functioning things.

I love Netscape for that reason....no pop ups! I think hackers don't
bother writing hacks for Netscape either! I think it is a lot safer
than IE.



Which version of Netscape?

If you are considering switching browsers I suggest the open source
browser version of Netscape called Mozilla Firefox.
http://www.mozilla.org/

We use Thunderbird at work... and I'm not crazy about it.

Not suggesting you use Thunderbird. Just the browser......Firefox. It
is safer and more secure than Internet Explorer because it does not use
Active X and blocks pop-ups. I should add that the new version of
Internet Explorer that comes with Service Pack 2 can block ups. But it
still uses Active X.

I use Mozilla for the same reason. The community has a certain
respect for open source. Besides which, vulns are corrected within
days, if not hours. Contrast this with vulns on IE that have been
there for a month or more.

Why does anybody see pop ups anymore? The free google toolbar, as well as a

I use the free version, and have never seen a pop up ad.

Anything you do on line uses bandwidth. You always have to judge how much
stuff you can have running versus performance. It certainly uses some
bandwidth, but I wouldn't call it chewing it up.

Unless you uncheck the box that says enable the running of active X, then it
won't run active x

You can block popups with any of a hundred free products out there,
including any of the major toolbars, yahoo, google, msn, etc. Service pack
2 also blocks popups, but nobody should see them anyways, since they are so
easy to get rid of.
