It seems that Netscape now hangs (ie- not responding) when I access this NG,
but works fine with all other NG's that I subscribe to. I'm currently using
Outlook Express to send this message, but would really like to go back to
Netscape.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?

If the next version of Netscape isn't any better than the 4.5 and so on
that we have now, I'm converting to MS IExplorer after 5 years of being
a Netscape user, these latest versions have been so unstable for me that
it's getting to be really annoying

I was having a similar problem when trying to read this news group. I
found this in a Netscape FAQ: Possibly a corrupt news folder, delete the
.snm file in the news sub-directory.

I just looked at the "Task Manager" in NT, I have 5 "windows" open in
both IE and Netscape, IE=10MB of RAM, Netscape=17MB of RAM.....
Ugh, getting closer and closer to convert to IE, but I hate MS on
principle :-)

I must admit, I have never used any OS besides MS, although I felt very
adventurous a while back and installed Linux on a spare PC we had here
in the shop........never got around to do anything more though, looked
interesting, but time is not always the thing I have most of these days

I think that's where a lot of us got to with Linux. I set up a dual boot on
my notebook, got all e***d when I managed to get X up and running on the
flat panel, felt 5 years younger when I got the modem to work, and nearly
lifted off the ground when I managed to get my PC-Card network card to talk
to the office network. Then I just sort of stared at it, smiled a smile of
satisfaction and switched off. Apart from occasionally running my X-windows
stuff on the notebook instead of the SGI workstation, I am still a MS slave
because everyone else in the world is a MS slave. Gotta' go with the flow
when you are exchanging papers, reports, figures etc.
Maybe in a few years...

Hm, I have to disagree. Almost everybody who writes scientific papers
uses TeX/LaTeX, or at least non MS Word or something like that. Maybe
not in the business world. Windows is not used very often in an
academic setting either.
Hm, come to think of it. The only reason I switch to windows is to
play a few games. I don't do anything else with it (wouldn't know
how). I took the TRS-80/Apple II/BBC/Macintosh/Linux route (I bought
my first PC to run linux, which was good because all our work at the
university was done on unix machines).
It gave me the opportunity to play GPL though :-)
