Tim,
I am not sure what the problem is as the page opens for me even with all 
the older browsers I test pages on.

My suggestion is that if you use AOL's latest build of 5 for OS 9, there 
should be no problems running it to get mail as it works flawlessly for 
me. I don't of course ever use their browser, and only go on the service 
to perform my duties.

The new AOL for X does have it's problems, but the version for 9 is 
fairly perfect. There are a list of files to trash to keep it "clean" as 
with any other browser, and I have not had a crash in about 3 years even 
under heavy use in tech support.
Hope this helps.
