[WEB4LIB] Cache in Netscape and IE

[Andrew Mutch]

Just a reminder to those who still view the world through the Netscape browser that stand-alone version 4.08 provides all the functionality that Communicator 4.5 + provides [Javascript, stable Java, some CSS support, etc. - unless you want a shopping bag on your toolbar...]  Unless you specifically need one of the other Communicator components, I would strongly advise using Navigator 4.08 if you have it deployed in a public setting.  It often is more stable than Communicator [definitely less bloated!] and much easier to lock down against patron "adjustments".

> Just before Christmas Break we went from Netscape to IE because we had to update and we didn't want the netscape composer, along with all the other baggage Netscape now brings with it.  At that time I also posted the notice that the Library would be closed from Dec. 23 to Jan 2 (I think).  When we came back I removed that notice, edited a few other elements on our Mainframe html.  Around Jan 15th or so my director ask me when I was going to take the notice that the library was closed over Christmas off the page.  I told her I did it.
