Re: IBM Web support -- MIDRANGE-L

A lot of that stuff is custom made to order.  I think it's supposed to be 
more of a "we did this for others - lookie what we can do for you."

The VP of IS does use Netscape as a default.  But he does also have a copy 
of IE for some sites.

The actual enter in your data and we'll show your open orders stuff is 
just rolling out.  Been out to a few beta customers, and presented to the 
board yesterday.  All Domino based with sql calls to BPCS.  Click on the 
columns to sort the data - that sort of rot.

Re: IBM Web support






I looked at the Dekko site with my out-of-the-box Netscape 7.1 and it 
displays fine.  The slide show is a little gimmicky, and the rest of the 
site is long on pictures but short on details that an audience of 
engineers might find useful, like product specs.

Adding my two cents to the browser discussion, I've prefered Netscape 
for years, both the browser and the e-mail client.  I did think I'd have 
to give it up when my 4.7 version would come up with a blank screen on 
IE sites.  However, the latest version (7.1) has no problems with any 
site I've visited so far.  And I don't need a Microsoft security fix 
every 48 hours.
