RIP Netscape

Melanie:

Thanks. One more thing. It appears this process won’t work with Netscape. That’s my default browser. What do I need?
Jade:
You will need to use either Internet Explorer or FireFox.
Melanie:
What version IE?
Jade:
Its up to you, version 6 or 7. 7 has tabs like FireFox, however I don’t like IE7 so if you want tabs I’d go with the new FireFox. Its more of a personal preference however.
Melanie:
Thanks for your help. My problem is I am loyal to Netscape. I don’t like IE. Firefox might be good but I understand I cant’ carry over my bookmarks and preferences and I would need certain plugins
Jade:
Yes I understand. However, Netscape is no longer being supported by the creators of Netscape as of March 1, 2008 so eventually you will have to change as there will be no updates to Netscape anymore.
Melanie:
Oh really? Guess I will have to bite the bullet. Thanks again. I know my options now
Visitor Melanie has ended the chat.
Ah well. Netscape sucked anyway. Happy to see it go.


Laggards scare me.
