Summertop: thanks. the laptopactually had one in t and i didnt know that. so it worked.. thanks for your info! :)

i have a question about wireless connectivity. im using wired broadband now, but, am going on a small vacation where the hotel has wireless access. ive surfed options for USB devices and cards for my laptop. do i need something specific? will any generic brand work? do i need to know what type the hotel has?

BIG BAD WOLF: ok, thanks, so many features to learn, how is one to keep up???

could this be a browser issue? when i right click anywhere on this site (except in text boxes) i get a box with "interviews, vacations, logout. a line with dashes, and lastly change" as options.... ive never seen that before? and if i click, say vacation for instance, it brings me to the page where i can set my days..

BIG BAD WOLF: its really got some great features, i want to try to stick with this one for my email acct, i dont want to have that at a seperate spot since this is the browser i use most.
here's the download site, you'll like it, it has improved security features, tool bar options, and better tabbing. http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/download/default.jsp

i like the new netscape, but i cant find the email icon? did they delete that? or am i blind? i read the FAQ's, and went through the help .. still didnt see it.. is it there?

thanks Badinage, i dont know anything about RSS, maybe i need to investigate? so far in using Netscape, i havent come up with any blank pages, and it loads quicker than IE, i just want to set up my mail acct, ive always used netscape for that.

has anyone downloaded the new Netscape version 8.0 yet?

they come standard with computers now, the ethernet cards.. we just bought a couple computers in december and they are standard. so dont buy an additional one online Magic Dragon!

i just figured out the tabs and ive been using this netscape 7.1 a few months now... i wondered what it meant.. this is a nice feature.. is yours working again MM?

whats that?

thanks Summertop.

does anyone here use a wireless router in their home?
i have cable, but 4 teenagers, each have their own computer, but we are using a wired router for 4 connections.
when going to wireless, besides the wireless router, what do the desktops and laptops require to receive the wireless connection? will they each need a card inserted?

TIA

just got this email from my ISP--thought someone else might need it!!
