Hi Jason:

Whoops --- didn't reset the calendar. Need to have it set before June,
for Netscape to stay usable. I'm running the 16 bit, JAVA enabled 'pre
release' copy --- they didn't replace it with a 'live' version --- just
with 4.0 Communicator and I can't stand the GUI of Communicator.


About the PS -- you are probably right in figuring that there is a
difference in the amount of 'filtering' before the capacitor that is
dying. Find that difference, and that will take care of the 'cap'
problem.
