0804 - Summary/Objective
0805 -
080501 - Follow up ref SDS 19 7680.
080502 -
080503 - Sent a letter on the system hang problem in Netscape, and also asked
080504 - for the list of User files for backup.

080506 -     [On 991202 received response from Netscape only on the first
080507 -     issue. ref SDS 20 0001]

080902 - Netscape Home Page and Help Web Page Has too Many Options
080903 -
080904 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Netscape explaining help options do not
080905 - correlate with our problem.  There are too many options and inadequate
080906 - context for aligning any particular option with the problem.  This
080907 - results in spending hours chasing down different threads that prove,
080908 - or ultimately appear to be incorrect.
080909 -
080910 - The "pay for incident" call option does not align with our objective
080911 - to report a program defect.  We need to report a problem, get a
080912 - problem number and be notified of someone for follow up.

080917 - Netscape Browser is Hanging Periodically Every 10 Clicks
080918 -
080919 - Netscape is hanging for about 15 - 30 seconds about every 10 or so
080920 - clicks on a link.  This has the appearance of a cache type problem,
080921 - where some parameter is being exceeded, and so requires time to clear
080922 - more space.  There is an FAQ on a Java related system hang.  This does
080923 - not fit that description, in that it is of relativley short duration
080924 - and cyclical.  In other words, Netscape works fine, except for these
080925 - periodic short-duration hands about 10 or calls to a link. ref DIT 1

090403 -
090404 - Submitted 2nd letter asking for a simple, direct means to identify
090405 - files for bookmarks, addresses and mail, so that this data can be
090406 - backed up every day to facilitate recovery when things are deleted or
090407 - a new program is installed.
