That is true, to some extent, but Netscape for unix, for example, is not the same program as Netscape for PC. Then you get into the nasty issues of things such as unix on a Mac (which my husband uses), and unix on a PC (which I use). We ran into a nasty website just the other day that worked for him but not for me.

Hoorah to that. There's nothing I dislike more than all those horrible FLASHY sites that are blinking and sparkling so much that you can't find any useful information after you wait the 15 minutes for the darned thing to download.
