I installed NS 6.2 (from the commercial CD) and can now access my bank
account from the bank's website.  Previously, I had to use Windows.  NS
6.2 apparently has all of the necessary plug-ins and whatever to fool
the site into thinking I am using IE with Windows.  Mozilla could not do
that.

I still use NS 4.79 for handling my e-mail.  NS 6.2 is sluggish even
with a relatively fast CPU (Athlon 900 mHz) and for some imbecilic
reason lacks the "quote" button that lets me determine on an individual
basis if I want to quote the message I am responding too.
