  Re: Netscape 6
 
(...) Sure; same with lynx. (...) The newer HTML and XML stuff is really cool (not just "wow" cool but "well done" cool). It'd be great if more sites _could_ use that. (...) I actually use it on my P75/32mb Libretto. It's not too bad -- main problem (...) (24 years ago, 17-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Netscape 6
 
(...) Actually Netscape 3 is an amazingly fast browser. Runs circles around later versions and Mozilla and IE. There relatively few sites that are unusable because of javascript or other missing/ incompatable features. The news reader was the best (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Netscape 6
 
(...) Yeah -- Netscape 3 actually sucks a lot too. Doesn't support current HTML standards. Mozilla 0.8 is out, btw. Very nice. (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Short notice
 
Have you seen the UPS commercials where the consultants propose this grand plan, the client says "Great, do it", and the consultants say "We don't actually do what we propose, we just propose it." So, do you actually write code, or do you just show (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Netscape Question...
 
(...) Well it isn't exactly a kill file but you can set up Filters while in the Mail client got to Edit->Message Filters, one of the options is to delete messages based on a certain criteria. Eric Kingsley (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: LCAD for Risc-OS (was LCAD/LDraw.org Formal Organization)

  Re: Mac Java Clarification
 
(...) Strange that no anti-trust people had a problem with that transaction. Back to Java, as I understand it, Internet Explorer does not have its own virtual machine, it uses MRJ, and Netscape has its own built in virtual machine. I thought that (...)

  Re: Mac Java Clarification
 
Drastically snipped... (...) Is there anyone that finds this as ironic as I do? To run the great anti MS language on the great anti MS computer from within a browser, the browser that works best is the MS browser.

  Re: Google aquires dejanews!
 
(...) Agreed. I've been particularly disappointed in the loss/lack of Usenet archives on Deja. What I miss now is the myDeja function. I hope Google can get that replaced ASAP... Improving upon what Deja had shouldn't be too hard. -Rob. (24 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Google aquires dejanews!
 
(...) IMO this will be good in the long run. Over the past 4 years or so I have seen dejanews/deja change change from a respectable resorce to this scary ad infested beast that you have to jump thru hoops to find the message you want.

  Re: Bitmap to Gif/Jpeg
 
(...) Of course, if you're using Win98, the Paint program will do that (not exactly so in Win95). But, you're probably not using Win98, that's why you asked... BTW, I looked at that IrfanView site; looks like a great program! --Electro-- (24 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Bitmap to Gif/Jpeg
 
(...) IrfanView, put out by a fellow in Germany, is what I've taken to using. I know that others here use it, as they're the ones who clued me in to it. As a general image editor and file converter it's mighty nice: (URL) And the price for (...) (24 years ago, 11-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Bitmap to Gif/Jpeg
 
Hi Does anybody happen to know of a site where I would be able to download a program that converts bitmap images to gifs and/or jpegs? I have searched up and down all to no avail. Thanks. (24 years ago, 11-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: What if Steve Jobs ran The LEGO Company?

  Re: From the first LEGO(r) Train Summit: LEGO(r) Trains are alive and well
 
(...) Steve's rise to prominence was due to the Mac, which was a computer that he did not design. He packaged it, sold it, and there were boom times at Apple. Then Apple began to falter, Steve didn't come up with any new stuff, and he was asked to (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
