It was bound to happen. I'd been in and out of the PB so many times (trying to work out why the bloody Lapis card was causing it to crash, swapping hard drives, memory etc), that I got complacent. Last night, I was performing what I thought would be my final swap on the machine, when it all went a

Re: netscape 7 hangs on a 3400 ?

the beauty of tabs is that you don't have 400 windows open. Floating around, each one smaller than the last, having to move them around to get to the one underneath (unless you use the window menu). Tabs are very handy. Kind of like IE Mac's placeholder only much more efficient and better laid

Hi Guys, In case any benevolent souls wish to look to see if you have the script I need, it would most likely be a file called something like "SupraExpress Sp" or "SupraExpress SP 33.6/56k" and it would be residing in the modem scripts folder within the extension folder within your system folder.
