Yup. Heard on a computor discussion that XP was as open as a barn door and
over time
the computor got slower and slower. They also stated that Netscape
apparently not
subject that much to attacks Didn't take much notice at the time until I
bought a 3 Gig processor
and after a while checked how much junk had unknowingly been attached to it,
one of which
had slowed me down till it shut down completely!
I wouldn't be surprised if this newsnet did add junk every time you linked
to it.

If you are going to do that - go to " Mozilla.org " as understand, they
created Netscape's software -- and get their new browser "Mozilla
Firefox " and their companion e-mail server " Mozilla Thunderbird"
- both are freebies and, that the ones I useing- has all the
conveniences of outlook/and I.E. 6, but seems to be friendlier to
blocking junk, and not as vulnerable to the security holes that M/S
has. Give it a try ! Jim NN7K

I am finding that WindowsXP is allowing 20 cookies (plus other stuff ) a
day
to attach to my computor which requires the use of another program to
be
activated
every day to quarentine them. Thinking of going back to the Netscape
browser
so as to
keep the computor cleen. Also interested in how much it would cost for
firewalls to bring
WindowsXP back to the protective level of Netscape 7.1.

(Yes I know it is not antenna related, unless you
need a computor to read antenna postings or use WindowsXP for antenna
software!)
