Easy Netscape Setup For CHY361/363 If you are using a Macintosh computer and have Stuffit Expander, click this link to download bookmarks and preferences for Netscape. You will receive a folder called Net4Biochem. Inside the folder are two files, Go2Net and Bookmarks.html. After downloading, quit Netscape and double click the Go2Net icon. Netscape will start again, and will be automatically set up to work properly at this site. In addition, you will find handy bookmarks for navigating the web pages for this course.
I'm trying to set up the same kind of help for PC users -- stay tuned.
