The new browsers depend on the operating system for some functions. If the OS can't supply those functions the browser breaks. To make the new browser work in the old OS they would have to build the missing functions into the browser. It is better for them to not do that and instead give you a good reason to send them money. Doing more work to make less money is not in vogue these days. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
