Silly (old-annoying) iMac computer!

So, if you were keeping up with the chronicles of Jersey Girl, you'll know I totally wiped out my laptop. I'm back to posting on an OLD iMac computer and it does weird insane things.

One example. There's a website I like to frequent and whenever I try to open the link to said website, I get totally kicked offline!

Insane! Why does it do that?

Where's the best deals on laptops? I seriously cannot stand being without my laptop!

Need more details.

OS version? Get this by clicking the apple in the upper left corner and selecting "About this Mac", then when that dialog comes up, look right below the words Mac OS X for "Version 10.?.?"
Also post the Processor and Memory from that dialog.

Which web browser? Firefox? Safari? hopefully not Microsoft IE(only on older versions of OSX)

Mac OS X
Version 10.3.9

Processor 400 MHz PowerPC G3
Memory 384 MB SDRAM

I was using IE but can easily use Safari. I just haven't tried it since I started using this Mac POS X again.

Edit: I just tried it with Safari and could get the website I mentioned. Thanks.

Anyone still using IE on a Mac is a fool.

Browser troubleshooting 101: If it does not work with one browser, TRY A DIFFERENT ONE.

Why are you still using OS 10.3?

I said why in the first line of the OP you replied to.
