Some older browsers do not handle the new programming very well and may display incorrectly. Freebuck.com has been programmed to work with a variety of web browsers and computers. However, we have made a design choice to offer the highest service level even if it means that some old browsers do not work properly. For example, Netscape versions 4.x and earlier have difficulty rendering some of the pages, although the site is certainly usable with that browser. Upgrading to a new browser is relatively easy and it is free. For PC and Mac users, we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer. Linux, Unix, and Open Source software users may use Mozilla. These programs may be downloaded from the links below. Follow the installation instructions from the vendor. Download links for internet browser software: Microsoft Internet Explorer - use version 4.0 or higher Mozilla - use version 1.0 or higher Netscape - use version 6.0 or higher
