Note Regarding Netscape

In general, based on my use of both browsers, I highly recommend using the Microsoft's Internet Explorer rather than Netscape. Netscape seems to have a number of minor problems built-in which make it harder to use and at times downright irritating.

All of my pages and sites are designed with Explorer in mind, then tinkered with so that they will work with Netscape. However, they still work and look much better when you use Explorer to view them.

In the case of the Mechanic "Mistaken Identity" script, the files were saved as word-processor files so that they would be easy for you download and read. This works fine with Explorer. Apparently nobody at Netscape ever thought of the possibility that someone might want to download a word-processor file from the net. So the Netscape browser refused to download the files and instead attempts to load them as web pages. This is shockingly bad design on the part of the people at Netscape!

The end result of attempting to download these files using Netscape is that the WordPerfect file is total garbage and the Word for Windows file is mostly (but not entirely) there but loses much of its formatting and is full of garbage (extra characters, etc.).

With Explorer, the end result is a correctly formatted, clean word-processor file all ready to read.

So, if you are using Netscape and you would like to read this script, borrow the computer of a friend who has Explorer on board or -- better yet! -- erase your Netscape and download Explorer 4. It's a joy to use.

On behalf of Netscape and myself, I apologize for any inconvenience.
