Turning to Mozilla...
Bella Jones
I don't have a huge grudge against IE, but now it's doing that 'disappearing
submenus' thing. I've tried trashing prefs in different combinations, but
the problem's got worse. I wonder if the 'Explorer control' prefs should go
too? I just can't face digging out all the passwords of sites I've been
using for ages and putting them in again.
Anyway, I've got Mozilla 1.0.1 which I downloaded last year. It's a bit
slow. I've just got 1.2.1 but have not installed it yet.
I just wondered - should I trash the first Mozilla before installing the new
one, and, if anyone's using it, how does the new one run?
And does it do the disappearing menus thing as well?
Thanks

W00t! I am now part of the Mozilla testing community!
Thanks for this!
And it even nicely opened with all my new bookmarks that I put in the old
mozilla! <easily pleased>
And I can read news on there too. :-)
Just one thing - the theme gives me a choice of classic or modern. Is lo-fi
something different?

Yes, basically, because my screen only shows thousands of colour at
800x600, both installed themes looked rubbish and too big.
You can browse and install lots of themes here:
http://themes.mozdev.org/themes/1.html
My favourite was Lo-Fi Classic, because it is wonderfully small, fast
and functional.

Mine's 'millions of colours' so it looks OK, but maybe the lo-fi one will
still run faster?
Just one thing - I played with it yesterday and Explorer does *not* like
being open at the same time! It played up immediately, and Mozilla did that
thing where you click on a button (in this case the salon.com login) and
nothing happened, and I got 'javascript(login)' in the lower bar, as you do
when a button doesn't work.
Is there a cure for this, or a preference I need to change?
Thanks.

I tried the most recent Mozilla and Netscape I could find (1.3.1 or so
and 6.x) on 9 and they were both dog-slow, so I went back to IE.
Actually using Netscape 7.1 on XP at work, it seems very nice, but even
on a 1GHz Fujitsu laptop it's very slow. It takes so long to page in
first thing in the morning, it must have been paged out to the moon on a
9.6kbps line.

NS 7.02 is considerably better than 6 and seems to be the latest version
that works on 9.2 although I had an upgrade notice the other day
advising me of 7.1 I couldn't find a link for an OS9 version though on
the site.

Hmmmm...
Anne is still using IE 5.0 on a 300MHz TonkaBook with OS 9.0.4; she is
booking airline tickets and banking online with the Nationwide and the
Natwest, and it's working absolutely fine. I don't know what these
'disappearing submenus' are, because they've never happened here.

This is when you click on, say, favorites, and the menu comes down, and
either the little arrow that says there's a submenu doesn't work, or isn't
there at all. Its a corrupted preference thing.
Now, if I could only find out where to make mozilla my default browser
without going via Parv, and find why some buttons don't click in mozilla
either, I'll be home and dry. Bet I end up sticking with IE... :-)
WWH, the Office clipboard is great. Don't need Keyquencer. <heh>

Okay. That's never happened on Anne's machine. Every now and again her IE
crashes; it's the only thing that does, and the only reason for restarts,
maybe one a fortnight, so IE 5.0 is certainly unstable, but it's highly
useable.

Que?
I use KeyQuencer/Keyboard Maestro for all kinds of things that no clipboard
I know could handle, like launching sequences of actions and/or frequently
used apps, but you mean the Office clipboard does all you want to do?
And while we're still here, I presume your new graphics board is still
working happily?

Sorry - I have the KQ icon on my desktop, and I associate it with you
because you were its biggest champion. :-)

Yes. <hiss>

Seems to be, thanks. It just had four days off while I was away, and nothing
has gone boom, or flashed psychedelically.

Oh yes, every day several tiems a day...
Interesting- a KQ icon on the desktop?
You know that by default if you go Opt-Shift-K the Keyquencer CP springs
up? No need for an icon. That's the beauty of KQ. If I could play an
irritating jingle here, I would...

I like desktop icons. It means I can see them without thinking. But then I'm
not even using KQ...

Nope. As you bring it up, pictures are absolutely fine (want a few JPEGs?)
but personalised sound files are against my religion.

I hope Rowland is better than I fear he might be. Does anybody have any

There is a special prize for anyone who can suffer through the entire
5:27 without fast forwarding, muting the sound, self-immolation or
having your brains melt and leak out your nose.
There are some particularly fine moments, especially around 1:20 where
it really starts rockin, and again between 3:30-3:43 when aural bleeding
usually starts.
4:15 has some quite beautiful tympany.
Enjoy.

G? I think it's probably the Work of the Devil. I found it on some
Japanese schoolboy's site, back in the days when I was actively involved
in the electronic music scene. His idea of music and mine are slightly
divergent. Full marks for, umm, perseverance I guess.

Fabulous! Prize please - I actually turned it up, when I was in the other

A lovely soundtrack to a short film, maybe someone making a forlorn attempt
at graffiti, or a tour of a broken fridge, incl rusting magnets.

I guess it's supposed to be a kettledrum roll,
but "flatulent distension of the belly" seems apropos.
