Browsers

CHOOSING A BROWSER

Netscape Navigator
There are a few things you need to get the most out of this WWW site. First off, these pages are Netscape Enhanced. That means if you don't have the latest version of Netscape (2.0 or later), then you're missing something. Well, not only something, but lots of somethings. If you don't have Netscape, we suggest you get it now! It's FREE and easy to install--in our humble opinion a far cry better than other Browsers.

BROWSER HINTS

The BISLEEP pages are graphically intense (AKA neat, cool, and bites of megabytes). This makes for a fine presentation, although it may become tiresome and aggravating if you have a slow speed connection. Our advice is that you simply turn off the auto-load of images in your browser's options. When you come across a picture you wish to see, simply click the load-image icon, and go fix yourself a sandwhich while the image slowly materializes on your screen.

Downloading is easy. Simply click HERE . But before you do, make sure that you have Stuffit Expander so that your MAC will decode the reader. Do this task once and you will have usefull internet tools. If you don't have Stuffit Expander there are two ways you can go about getting it.

  1. If you have Binhex then simply click HERE and Netscape will download and install Stuffit Expander for you.
  2. If you don't have Binhex then you need to ftp it manually. Good luck! The ftp site is: ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Mosaic/Mac/Helpers/stuffit-expander-352.bin
