How so? Mozilla runs fine on various nixes. There are also better alternatives like Konqueror and Chimera. The former is the basis of the Mac Safari browser and while I do not know how well safari runs Konqueror is indeed a very good browser and Chimera is based on Mozilla but some improvements have been made to speed it up.
Just download the appropriate source and compile it. Shouldn't take 5 minutes. I also believe that Opera is available for Unix. Don't quote me on that.

Any idea how to stop unsolicited mail? I've tried blocking them and creating message rules, but they do no good.

Um, 'fraid not. Last I knew, AdAware hunts down and will uninstall adware proggies, but doesn't address popups at all (unless they added this feature since the last time I checked)
To steampunk:
I wasn't sure if Mozilla is available for Unix, so I assumed it wasn't; Opera is *definitely* not avail. (yet, anyway) for Unix. However, both browsers have flavors available for Linux
To TopGun:
That sucks for you. Still, I'd check the web some more. There are certain browsers available that come in a "portable" version, that can be run off a floppy disk. Of course, you lose a lotta bells & whistles, but you may also lose the popups.

WTH is Unicron?...

They may have been talking about something else, but I remember Unicron being that giant robot out of the Transformers movie.
Preacher, well, actually I'm not sure if Mozilla and Opera are available for Unix. Most of our machinces had Linux installed on them. But some are still Solaris. I sorta just assumed that someone would have written the appropriate libraries to get those browsers compiled and working in Unix. Netscape should have done that with Mozilla. Opera I have no idea about ...
Oh well, there's always Konquerer.

Opera & Unix = No
Opera & Solaris/Linux/FreeBSD = Yes
Mozilla & Linux/Windows = Yes
Mozilla & Unix = ? (I don't know; fill in here if you know for certain)
To T8:
Well, I ain't used it since v. 5x, so that must been one of the improvements they made to it since then. Another plus about it was that you COULD (back in that older version at least) run it off of a floppy.
To LeHah:
I am not of your generation, methinks.
I don't know. If you follow Delance's link you will find the attempts at other Unicron figures and look around and you'll find the current Armada figures. Maybe that will give you an idea.
I'm wondering how old Preacher is now that he has no idea of Unicron. Or maybe his folks only let him watch "educational TV"
