   (...) I normally use Netscape, and it took minutes for the home page to come up, but when I fired up Internet Explorer, it came up fairly quickly. As much as I hate Microsoft for railroading Netscape, there seems to be no way to avoid using Explorer (...) (22 years ago, 31-Mar-02, to lugnet.publish)

     (...) What version of Netscape do you use? I use Mozilla 0.9.8 and came up almost instantly. (Netscape 4.7, otoh, was hopeless.) If you're using a Netscape 6 and seeing this problem, try upgrading to a Mozilla build. (22 years ago, 31-Mar-02, to lugnet.publish)

   (...) Ah, that would explain a lot. Netscape 4 is extremely picky about having a </table> for every <table>. If you don't, it will not display the table at all. (...) Netscape 6 is a complete rewrite of Netscape 4, based on the pseudo-open-source (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-02, to lugnet.publish)
