Internet Explorer users 'have below-average IQ'
webster72n wrote in a poorly-formatted usenet post:
I use Netscape Communicator 4.79 for reading news. It can be downloaded from he http://downloads.5star-network.com/I...t/cc32d478.exe Sorry, but my system tells me that this is an incorrect link. Yes, that link doesn't seem to work. Try this: ftp://ftp.ufpr.br/Internet/Browser/N...8/cc32d478.exe Yet, not to worry, I have it already on my machine, except for the fact that I have to set it up and provide my personal information, which is where I stalled... Do you realize that when-ever a piece of software wants your personal information - that you can lie and give it fake info? If it asks for a name, etc, then give it webster72n. If you don't want to use it for e-mail, then don't. You don't have to enter any server info for e-mail (SMTP). Just usenet (NNTP). |

What personal information did Netscap Navigator require of you? I haven't used 4.79 since I moved up from Windows ME to Windows XP. I recall entering completely bogus personal information in some early web browser I used. But I am reasonably certain that step was optional, and that I used the bogus information to mess with the heads of the data miners. However, anybody using Windows Live Mail Version 2011 has the ability to run SeaMonkey 2.3.3, the latest version of the browser suite which most closely resembles Netscape Navigator 4.79. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

I preferred N. Miller's suggestion and used SeaMonkey instead of the Netscape Communicator, because it was interfering with my IE9. Seems as if I am in business. Harry. |

I believe that IE9 will run only on Vista or Seven. |

Neither will Windows Live Mail run on anything less than Windows XP; and he was using WLM 2011, which will only run on Windows Vista, or Windows 7. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

"[i]t looks like it's such a good news reader, that it takes you a
month to discover when someone posts a reply to your post. So I don't expect to see you again until October." So now you know why they called it "Eternal September". ;o) -- MotoFox Originator of the word "enubulous" I just tell everybody to run Linux, myself. The "users are idiots and are confused by functionality" approach of Apple is a disease. If you design your OS for idiots, only idiots will use it. I don't use a Macintosh, because in striving to be so simple, they simply can't do what I need them to do. Please, just tell everybody to go to Linux. |

Except that *wasn't* intended to be a plug for everyone's favourite news
server. Basically you can thank Amerika Offline for throwing Usenet into the vast state of humiliation it's currently in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sep...at_never_ended I was trying to go for black comedy, but I guess CenturyQ must be filtering humour now. -- MotoFox Originator of the word "enubulous" I just tell everybody to run Linux, myself.

Oh, and although AOffL dropped Usenet access from its "service" six
years ago, you can also thank *gle Groups for continuing it. Forgot to mention that. -- MotoFox Originator of the word "enubulous" I just tell everybody to run Linux, myself.
