Crashing URL

My computer has crashed (after taking forever to download the one page - + of course the ads) on this URL: Pics of new 61 Spider Veloce

I'm on a Mac, use Netscape, and my (so-called) high speed internet conection comes from a Verizon cell tower.

However, why the problem with this one particular thread/URL?

I've been known to live dangerously. Six photos, a few replies, nothing out of the ordinary

OH MY GOD MY COMPUTER IS TOAST!!!

No.......not really!! It came up just fine for me, took about 20 seconds but like grimm said, no problem.

Must be that Mac thing, do they still have the little black bomb that lets you know you're screwed??

I'm so glad you guys took my plight seriously.

Actually the damn Netscape crashed while I was reading your replies.

Apparently I'll need to go to Safari (which I'm on now) to be able to access the ABB.

Unfortunately I'm only set up to use Safari as a 'navigator' and not for mail & newsgroups. Therefore it's copy and paste time to visit a thread. Yeah, I know, boo hoo.

My Mac's OS is 10.4.2 My Security has an icon of a house with a safe's dial. The above page does not show up, but certainly must be there somewhere. Essentially all the Security on mine is for is to put in a password - which I don't want to do.

Please note that I'm not having trouble posting using Safari, it was Netscape which was the problem.

But I sure would like to find the page you are showing.

Open Safari and you will find it in the menu bar under "Safari" - "Preferences".

Biba,

Your problem from what I've read is your internet connection and has nothing to do with the site. The page you are trying to access has a few large images on it which is over 1mb in total. This page size will be a challenge for any one using a dial up connection.

I just re-read your post.

What version of MAC OS are you running and what version of Netscape browser?
