Re: Warning about Netscape 7 Preview

:)

I see.  I was confused because Mozilla actually does everythign Netscape
does, to the best of my knowlege.  It's just that Mozilla is the basic
browser and tools, while Netscape is that plus the ads and other AOL
add-ons.  However, AOL has it's place on the Net and I'm sure many will
prefer having those add-ons to doing without them.

Thank you.

I guess for the same reason there are Mac Vs. PC debates.............
Linux vs NT debates.........................
Asparagus vs. green beans debates...............
We're all different........we service different customers............we
have different preferences, habits, and needs!
Of course, I hate the ads, too! But, many of us have to gear our sites
towards IE and Netscape, because that's what the populace uses. You
mention Mozilla (or Opera, for that matter), to anyone who isn't heavily
computer-oriented, and they look at you with a glazed expression. You
say Mozilla, someone's gonna think of Magilla the gorilla!
As for me, I still like the form fill-in feature, maybe cause I'm lazy:!
