As blown away as you may have been by seeing the original Mosaic
for the first time, Netscape is even more impressive.
Besides being faster, easier to use and more rubust than Mosaic,
it elegantly handles news and mail.
It's terribly, terrible impressive.

One suggestion: How about ALT text when in-line image display

I'd have to agree. Very very nice job. I'd suggest, though, a rework
of the bookmark editor. Seems kinda strange. Also, a Kiosk mode
would be ideal! Can't find any other faults with it yet. Impressive
piece of work. I feel sorry for the likes of Spry and its
competitors.

I like it more as I go along -- but agree with you, the bookmark
editor is not 100% yet. The other thing it lacks are printing
(sure expected it) and the lack of a button for the history or
hotlist. Lots space on that ruler bar, guys!
I have to say I *love* the logo, especially when spinning away ...
Very nice 90s design.

Is it just me or does Netscape miss one critical ingredient. How can you print
anything from it ? It is better than all the other web browsers I have tried,
but without the capability to print anything, it is worthless.

It is stupid to implement TCP/IP in each application that wants to use it.
Why not WordPerfect in-a-box? Or Quicken in-a-box? These transport services are
best provided either by the operating system, or by a general purpose layer
usable by all applications.

As stated in the help-on-version (and myself many many times), printing
will be added "real-soon-now". It didn't make it into beta 0.9
of the windows version but will be in 1.0...

Now, am I just ignorant, or is the source to Mosaic Communication's home

list items... <h2></h2> surrounding other format tags... <h6></h6> used as
"legalese" small-print... aren't these (well, OK, the first two) bad html?

Yeah - but it would be nice to be able to customize these and the other
main buttons to point to your personal favorite search engines etc.
"What's New", for instance, is mirrored everywhere. I like to pick a
place other than MCOM's page to reduce traffic to that site....

You can, although I cannot find it in Netscape's rather superficial
documentation, and these resources aren't listed in their Netscape.ad file.
Anyway, for running under X, each little bit of Netscape's menus is a resouce
that you can customize. For example, here is the default configuration of the
[What's New] button and Directory item:

You're correct. I missed that. Thanks for the info! It's nice they are
going to have that version made publicly available also. The graphics are
MUCH faster to come up, but did anyone else notice (in the Windows version at
least) that the graphics are a bit grainy?

I must admit and agree with all the others..... very good job.

though.... but I'm sure it will evolve somehow....

I didn't call you lame, and your browser's the best I've seen yet for
Windows. The choice not to include printing was lame, though. It's as
if you'd left off the "Edit" menu or bookmarks didn't save.

I was chided by e-mail by one of the Web Gods at Teleport for being so
critical of NetScape, so apparently I needed to gush more in my praise.
Your browser is a beautiful thing, and an answer to prayer. I'm new to the
Web, and I've suffered through one stupid thing after another with every
browser I've used 'til now--NCSA Mos., Cello, and WinWeb. I fell in love with
Netscape the minute I opened it and could read the text on your home page
while the image was loading. I married it when I stopped a page in mid-load
and NOTHING EXPLODED. We had our first child after I tremulously tried using
forms and mail-to links and found they were supported. I love NetScape
Mosaic. I use it to read newsgroups as often as I do my "official" news
reader now. It is a delight, a dream, a trip through the infobahn on gossamer
wings. Every day I find something wonderful and new about it--the fact that
it recognizes URLs in posts...siiiighhhh...being able to turn graphics on
and off with a push of a button...bliss...
Although the above is idiotically flowery, it's not far from the truth. I
really do love your product, I look forward to the full product, I've deleted
every other reader from my drive, and if you keep making them like this you'll
have a customer for life.
No kidding.
(Dang, man--I didn't even start the stupid "no printing" thing--I got into it
because I jumped in and said "Yes it does have printing, I'm sure it does!"
and then realized I was wrong...)
You are going to produce a version specifically geared to the special needs of
African Americans, right?
Mark Wilkinson
Has anyone else using NetScape under windows noticed
this peculiar little quirk?
When NetScape accesses a page with more than a couple of
in-line images only the first two or three appear... the rest
are never loaded, and come up as 'cutsie' symbols... I haven't
figured out any rhyme or reason for which inline images are
loaded, except that it starts at the first one and loads a 'few'
then stops.
Very quirky...

I have been experiencing something similar. Netscape for Windows will hang
after loading 839-843 bytes of any page from my server
(http://msuinfo.ur.msstate.edu/) even if it has no graphics. Apparently this only
happens to machines on my subnet; more remote users report no problems. I've
had no problems in this regard with the Mac version.

Actually, what seems to be causing most of these problems is
that the number of simultaneous connections Netscape thinks
its allowed to make is larger than the number the winsock is
configured to allow.
The best solution is to lower the number Netscape is allowed
(Network and Images pane of the Preferences box) or increase
the number of connections your winsock allows.

Hello all!
I solved the problem using a combination of the above suggestion and
my own idea.
Since I am running the server that I have trouble loading by NetScape
I changed the maximum number of connections that my server could
handle to a higher number. At the same time I reduced the max-number
in the NetScape .ini file, and everything is hunky dorey!
Great program!!
