absolutely you can disable/eliminate that sidebar...i did 1st thing.

my biggest problem w/ the upgrade apparently had to do w/ a slightly defective download of the program itself. one file got corrupted...and well...sigh. Netscape/AOL can't seem to figure out why N4.x stuff was lost, since it was only supposed to copy over the bookmarks.

sigh...almost back to normal...still a few addies missing...but have no idea what! the new bookmark section is too short! :(


some other stuff:
N6 is MUCH slower than N4.x.

other gripes: printing something. 4.x allowed you to print the URL/page info, which comes in mighty handy.

another: lack of the browser actually saving the cache file w/ .xxx extensions...and not within the program directory. it's now in the Windows directory, and its a 'beetch' to try & save stuff (like photos) without having to apply an extension, open it up & see if anything shows up.


as for the carpal...am avoiding surgery for now. had a steriod injection in one wrist...NEVER again! not NO how, not NO way!

will pass the word as i find other folks a-scattered online.
