Hum,
 
Well the site is enhanced for Mickeysoft's Internet Explorer 2.0.  You can
download that software directly from MS at http://www.microsoft.com, the
download hyperlink is on the first page.  Incidently, I spent (wasted) some
time looking at their Games launch, and you really need the IE 2.0  Those
URL's are multimedia and can only be appreciated with IE 2.0  Also, IE 2.0
integrates nicely into MS exchange and fires from the Internet icon on the
desktop.  BTW, MS really enjoins you to download the beta and they underline
that it is free.  IE 1.0 came on the MS PLUS! cd-rom but can be downloaded
also.
 
At the site http://home.netscape.com, they invite you to download the 2.0
beta of Netscape Navigator.  It works great on Win95, and it is fast!
 
I use IE2.0 when I access sites which are enhanced for it, very few at
present, but I default to Navigator 2.0 because of the speed.
 
Here is a list of the new tags which IE 2.0 supports and are probably ignored
(or worse) by Netscape 1.2 and 2.0  BGSOUND, MARQUEE, IMG DYNSRC.  There are
also new extensions in several other tags.  So much for standards!
 
Kind regards,
 
Denys. . .
