Why are you stuck at NS4? Have not used NS4 for ages (I was surprised when someone recently pointed out that something I made appeared not to work right in NS4 - (I fixed it so it did, just for old times sake!). You don't have *have* to move to X to get Mozilla 1.3? There is a WamCom version that works very nicely on 9.1 Go to http://wamcom.org/ or more specifically http://wamcom.org/latest-131/ Even IE 5.1.6 works quite well. These two browsers, especially Mozilla, have good support for modern CSS website construction. As for email, well, the Mozilla has the email composer thing which I do not use, having been with Outlook Express for ages and it seems to do everything I want... True, you may want to move to X for other reasons... others will advise on this (my advice would be to get a more modern Mac for this...).
