Hi! We are from Toronto, Ontario. We are just experimenting with this new
interface...
Bell High School 3: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:12PM EST (-0500 GMT)
We're also experimenting. It's quite interesting what a very old version of Netscape can do.
Centennial webmaster: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:13PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Bell High School3, WHAT version of Netscape are you using?!!!

of Netscape. Does Bill Gates have to own everything?!

Sorry that should be button. You should upgrade to Netscape 2.02 if you can.

Oh yeah? visit us at button.
Auburn High: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:17PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 3, that is. I took a look at the Beta version and it
looked impressive, much faster than Netscape. Anyways, back to the
enviro-chat people :)
