Try upgrading to the latest version of Explorer. If this does not help, just give us a call on Monday.

I'll do that now, I will let you know when it's completed. As alway's, thanks!

Macs and the Use of Hushmail

Version 9, and lower versions of the Mac OS, have a limited implementation of Java support.

Although I am not familiar with the technical details (I believe the issue is that they will run Javascript but not Java Apps, OR the issue is that the version of Java that they do support is somewhat old and limited..... I am not sure) the bottom line is that under version 9 (including all variants of OS such as 9.1, 9.0.4, etc) some small subset of Java based apps and web page extensions will not function correctly.

This includes Hushmail - it will NOT work on a Mac under OS 9 (or under), regardless of the browser.

Under version 9, there IS a solution for Mac users, and that is to use Virtual PC. Virtual PC allows the Mac to fully emulate a PC and run various OS's on it (and in fact is in many ways more stable than an actual PC is). I have used this method to access Hushmail from my Mac and it works fine. Virtual PC is somewhat slow (it IS an emulator after all) but it does work, and when using a newer G4 based Mac (which are uncannily fast) it is very very useable. (I have an older G3 so this solution works, and is stable and reliable, but not very fast).

The new Max OS X MAY work with Hushmail - I have not tried it directly. Given its UNIX underpinnings, and the OS's ground-up focus on compatibility with such things as Java, I believe it should work. I however do not have firsthand knowledge of this.

Sorry Geore, let not get into anti-Mac basing - ok? You'll lose.

Maybe the reason you see so little traffic is becuase you don;t address Mac issue and Netscape issues that much. Focus on PeeCees and Int Explorer and guess what customer ramain around ...... ?????? any ideas?

Besides .... being part of the "mases" does not hold much weight with me and many of your customer base. Telling a bro on here that he has a body that is more fit than maybe 75% of the population is not too much of a compliment. Tellling a 3woman she has a better proportion that the average US female, who is 5'4" and 143 lbs, is not a compliment, or much of a goal for that matter.

Claiming that some segement of your customer base is not worth addressing becuase it only represents 15-20 of web users does not seem to be much of a good business argument.

I drive a Porsche, by your logic, I should rive a Toyota becuase they sell more.

Make you decision George, that fine. I respect that. Make business choices. I was simply pointing out what is true in my post. Most people are well aware of the limitations of husmail, and I think the fact that Elite bascially just uses Hushmail should be a little more apparenet when your Elite-mail service is discussed.

And, please, this site is FULL of people who strive to be the exception. Quoting numbers and making claims that some percent is not worth addressing is maybe not the best move.

But do what you want, I respect that. Its your site.

Quit bitching. Minorities don't run things. This site is free. If you want to help him to be able to extend services to others, then by all means go ahead, I'm sure he'd appreciate it. This man is doing a great service to us and should not surcomb to ridicule because he is not spending time and money to change for a very slim majority of people and to scratch every itch on your little nuts. If you had paid for a service and was unable to benefit from it, this would be a different matter. However, you did not, and you are bitching about something that is given to you for free. If you were homeless and someone brought you a weeks worth of groceries, you'd probably complain because there was no sirloin steak and caviar.... Show some respect.
