    Programs
In summary, on this day, the author had 29 windows open, most of them being Internet Explorer, but also a couple for ZoneAlarm, a Paint program, my ISP, Norton antivirus, two My Computer windows, an image viewer, Eclipse, Calculator, and Notepad. They use netscape which has tabs for each new internet path so the program is only open once. They also have a few dozen Firefox windows open.

Thanks again. I try to keep those windows to a minimum as well. I've had up to about 15 or so, but then it tells me I don't have enough memory to go farther.

You don't have as much to worry about, between running a Mac, and using such an old OS on that Mac, it's highly unlikely anyone is bothering to write viruses for it anymore or that there are enough other users left with that OS to spread around any existing viruses. Sometimes it's good to be behind the times. :biggrin:

Firefox is another browser. I've been warned that the version for Macs is not very good (and I don't know if it would run on anything earlier than OS X anyway), so either stick with explorer or when you upgrade someday, you'll get Safari with newer operating systems. That's not perfect either, but I've grown to like it better than explorer.

Thanks for the info. I also have Netscape Navigator 4.7 on here, but I didn't like it any time I tried it.
