 never experienced any problems with 4.6.  Once I updated to 4.7, I got to

 that said forbidden.  I have what I call a phantom browser that takes over my
 system.
 I can close my browser, and be looking at  a desktop..  I can click Ctr Alt
 Delete
 and in my list of programs running shows netscape.  I have to click it and 
End
 program, two or three times to get it to leave.  I have a friend who is using
 2000, and she is having the same problems, I am. I am using 98 SE.
 
 I know the phantom browser is open, when I can't go to a site.  I can click 
on
 links and they just sit there.  I will be reloading my entire system 
shortly, and
 I am going to reload 4.6, and there I will stay. there are other quirky 
things it
 does, but I can't remember the right now.  So if it was me, I would just stay
 with what you got.
 A browser is like a car..  it gets you from point A to point B.  Seeing a 
bigger
 and better car next to you, and moving over to it, just gives you more 
things to
 go wrong.  It still only gets you from point A to point B.  I say if it ain't
 broke don't change.  But that is me..

Okay, that makes good sense to me, I normally don't use Netscape anyway, the 
hubby does...........when I do, I ususally get an I/O and it closes on 
me.....but not all the time.  I guess I will keep the version I have now, 
thanks for the reply!
