I share a ski house with a bunch of ex-netscape people (andothers).
I noticed that NONE of them used Netscape.  Opera, iCab, Exploder.
"why would we?  It's a bloated piece of shit."

And mozilla finally got compilable.  And they all started using it.

So count me as loud in the silence of trying to fix a netscape 4.x
problem.  I'd think that keeping Mosaic 1 running would be more
interesting and useful.


Consider migrating to Firebird or Mozilla.

I made a friend's mom *try* it and her response was:
"Wow, I can use my bank site now without IE and it's SO MUCH FASTER"

And she forced her son to dump IE.

And it was good.
