Several public computers were getting a Hotmail "Document contains no data" error \
message from Netscape Navigator 4.08 browsers, while other machines in the same \
building were having no trouble connecting to Hotmail with Internet Explorer \
(surprise!).

The staff tried deleting History and Cookies, to no avail, I suggested deleting \
PREFS.JS, and that worked immediately.  Of course, now they keep a "known good" copy \
of PREFS.JS for their public computers, and they replace it at the first sign of \
Netscape behaving badly.

BTW, no argument about Hotmail being unreliable, or worse.  I set up a test account \
in Hotmail in December, and never used it or gave out the address. This account \
receives an average of 10 to 20 spams a day. Go figure.
