Well, AOL and Netscape are one and the same, and they haven't been doing very bell financially lately, so I guess the banner ads are probably there to make a little extra money. I agree that the page they send you to for stock details is pretty ugly though... Is the link actually opening in Netscape (the browser program), or is it opening in Internet explorer and taking you to a page at netscape.com? On my Mac (OS 9.2, AIM 4.3.1232) AIM respects whatever I have set in the Internet control panel as my default browser for what it opens when I click on stock/news links. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
