Surprise

I went out to the www.zone.com site tonight and got a unexpected surprise. I read a notice that the site is being worked on and that Netscape will not work. So when I left the site (or tried to), I was knockd offline and my browser closed. if you go out there, all I can say is YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Me thinks the same team who worked on the Zone also dabbled in Win98? ;) > I went out to the www.zone.com site tonight and got a unexpected > surprise.

> Me thinks the same team who worked on the Zone also > dabbled in Win98? ;) Great to see Billy boy and assistant showing off Win 98 on TV the other day only for it to crash. LOL. A red faced Billy said "That's why we haven't put that one on the shelves yet!". Yeah right Bill, as if that makes a difference.

Just to clarify....WWW.ZONE.COM has always stated that it won't work with netscape. as for your system crashing when you left I have serious doubts that it had anything to do with the site. BTW has anyone managed to run NASCAR 2 there? I did it once or twice last summer but haven't been able to since.

However, I too recently went out there & after having read their notice of incompatibility with Netscape, my browser was also promptly shut down. If you don't believe me, fire up your Netscape & shoot on over yourself!

I remember going to the zone. DLed IE4 which consequently took over everything. At the time, 5 months ago now, they said Netscape would be supported soon. What a joke!

That is precisely the reason I went there with my Netscape in the first place! I was checking to see if they ever finished support for Netscape Navigator, because I would never let that offspring-of-the-Devil IE4 anywhere NEAR my machine. When it shut me down, I was absolutely appalled. Sure, they have a right to limit access to THEIR site to users of THEIR products if they so wish, but the have NO RIGHT in hell to shut down the browsers of ANYONE. There. Feel better now.

Try out the new Zone during its Beta period. Easier to use with Netscape support, the new Zone will be part of your *** world very soon. Copied right from zone.com George Sandman
