Optimum Compatibility?

I don't know what to say at this point regarding compatibility and 
general happy surfing, but since I started the iTools discussion I 
thought I'd ante up.

I should say that I have been using the Netscape 6.1 compatibility for 
an indefinite amount of time.  I have not seen any noticeable difference 
in operational stability.

Regarding iTools, when using the OW defaults iTools will not let you log 
in ("your browser is not supported").  When adjusting the compatibility 
to either Netscape or I.E. you get in, but as I stated in my other 
discussion with Kazu, but Kazu put more eloquently

"But there is still a problem. I cannot see my home pages to select and 
revise with OmniWeb.  To revise them, I have to use IE instead."

This is a problem with compatibility set to I.E. 5.1 for Mac as well as 
Netscape 6.1 for Mac

Cheers,

Hank
