Eh, I believe that AMR's make Winmodems look like highly intelligent

At least there is a DSP on most Winmodems... AMR's have none.

Nope; Mozilla is the open source REWRITE of the original Netscape
Navigator code. And it's so much better now than the original code, that
Netscape has thrown away their old code, and used the Mozilla code.

The "embedded font text file viewer" in Konqueror _is_ the Advanced Editor

Firstly, I _strongly_ suggest that you use Mozilla instead of Netscape 6.x.
Netscape 6.1 is Mozilla 0.9 with some advertising courtesy of AOL (who own
Netscape). Mozilla is currently at version 0.9.2, which is faster and less

For anyone who wants to know, the CD ROM was:
ACER 32X MAX, using the ATAPI device driver
MOdel No: 632a 002
mfg date: 1998
I have had LM on another computer, it was
AMD 300 w/ 40GB (another time I had a 10GB in there and it worked on both)
The new computer that 8 doesnt work on specs go as follows:
AMD 1Ghz
256 C2 Ram(as long as the guy didnt rip me off)
ATI Rage Pro 3d AGP 32 MB 3d accelerator
Simmantec PCI network
Out of curiosity, after you've unmounted it, after one of these
