Perhaps Netscape/AOL should have waited a few weeks before pushing the latest incarnation of its browser out the door. Geek sites such as slashdot.org are buzzing with problem reports, but apart from a tricky installation on the Mac, version 6.0 has been good to me. I've been using it as my primary browser on Mac OS 9.0.4 and Windows 2000. It builds pages just as fast as Internet Explorer 5 and, perhaps, just a bit faster on the Mac. It doesn't work with Macromedia Shockwave but has no problem with Flash. Go figure. Let's face it, Netscape 4 is awful, so it's probably worth the effort to download it.

Napsterish fun

Oh, how I love the Net and how I gain a new perspective on humanity almost every day. The latest thing to tickle my fancy is the art of Drop Lifting. The idea is that you, a struggling music artist seeking recognition, take your CD into a chain music store and drop it on a shelf. The store, fueled by corporate greed and eager to make a buck, surely will sell the CD to the unsuspecting patron. And the cheeky artist has found one more listener. So simple, so brilliant. I'm getting misty.
