I would like to warn everybody NOT to download the Netscape 7 preview.  Or
at least, if you do, do not install any optional programs.  There is some
kind of Java applet program (I cannot remember the name as I so quickly got
rid of it and NS7) that's an option to install, and after I installed NS7
and this program, suddenly NO Java applets were working.  Every web page I
went to with a Java applet was messed up because the applet wouldn't load
(one of them was a clock applet and another of them was a password/login
applet).  I could not get them to work again until I uninstalled NS7, that
lousy Java applet program, AND NS6 and the Java applet program that it
automatically installed.  BTW, when I uninstalled NS7, it uninstalled NS6 as
well, and, to tell you the truth, NS7 did not look any different than NS6.
So, in sort, NS7 isn't worth it, and Netscape has me wondering if it will
EVER be worth it to have that lousy piece of crap browser running on my
machine.
