DOWNLOADING FREE BROWSERS ONLINE, the INS AND OUTS

I wrote a tekkie pal to complain that it took too much time to download NETSCAPE BROWSER, which was offered FREE ONLINE. I was after a VERSION 4.7, my fave for the EMAIL CLIENT which is great list making, easy to manage easy to see... My tekkie pal answered "Sounds like you downloaded the base installer rather than the full program and it's trying to download more bits to set itself up. Also sounds like you have a slow connection and maybe interference from your firewall if you have one, also maybe a slow computer (not much ram). Have you looked here?

This is netscape's own site with all their versions. However it's a bit slow with all the technologically challenged trying to download the same crap browser. You could go to http://www.webattack.com/freeware/misctools/fwbrowser.html
and check out some free alternatives. If you want the same web/email functions as netscape you could try Mozilla, it's what netscape is based on and it sees sites much better.

HE WAS RIGHT. My machine was slow. I signed up for DSL and then never had problems downloading freebie shareware again.

ONCE I had mastered the art of doing a download and install, I went and got a lot of different browsers being offered online. I use the free FLASHPEAK.COM "SLIM BROWSER"  to default to my WALLA.COM free email. I use INTERNET EXPLORER browser which BILL GATES gave us with the machine, for YAHOO.com mail. I set defaults so it goes straight to my mail box!  I USE MOZILLA FIREFOX browers to visit GMAIL and Netscape and Lycos three free email services where I have a dozen addies each! As I use CRAIGS LIST for forty ads a Day, I need many addies. My old MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD browser defaults to the MAILSHACK and NERDSHACK.COM email client.

SEE, every browser needs an email iside it. Some come with one, some do not. However, you can set your browser to open or default to some FREEBIE mail SERVICE like GMAIL, YAHOO, MAILSHACK, HOTMAIL, MAIL.COM, LYCOS, NETSCAPE.

NETSCAPE has free email and it has free browsers. VERSION 8 is what they tout now, but for security reasons, nothing like VERSION 4.7 which to my way of seeing things and many other is a great free browser, it has a great email client inside it, similar to the HUNDRED DOLLAR EUDORA they wanna sell you! EUDORA EMAIL CLIENT used to be free, maybe some old version is, go look and tell me.
