Tim, The site looks alot better with Internet Explorer and Mac OS 9. Netscape 4.x is still too small. But I think Netscape is dead enough that you don't need to worry about it. I don't even bother with Netscape 6. In Mac OS X it looked fine with (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.cad)
