Re[2]: Browsers - Was... Javascript usage in site

I've been following this thread a bit with interest (having been on
the Netscape side for much of the "browser wars") and have for the
last few months been using Netscape 6.x as my day-to-day browser
(testing pages of course in IE as well.) I have gotten used to the AOL
looking Netscape though it fails to grow on me as some software does
(Photoshop, for example). My first impression of N6 was that of a big
clunky Java applet running on a slow machine. <shrug> Though it may
speak poorly for my knowledge, I hadn't had it in conscious thought
that AOL had bought Netscape, though it makes sense now as one of my
other initial impressions was that Netscape was starting to look like
AOL's browser screen. (Kinda yucky in an attempt to be snazzy.)

Anyway, my main reason for this quick email was that I went to
Mozilla's site (as someone had suggested in this thread) and
downloaded a version that I've been using all day to day and kind of
thrilled with it. :) I did like the N4 feel, and this seems to give me
back a lot of that, but it also "feels" more stable and usable. I
haven't taken the time yet to compare or explore features, and
sometimes things take a while to make themselves plain, but I have to
say that Mozilla may have another fan. (And not even just because I'd
love to use anything without Microsoft's name on it.) <grin>

"Try this sometime. Get a group of children in a room with a light fixture hanging just out of their grasp. Then watch what happens: one child will jump to touch it, and before you know it, every kid in the room will be leaping like Michael Jordan. They're testing their skill, stimulated by the challenge of reaching something beyond their normal grasp. Put the same children in a room where everything is easily in reach, and there will be no jumping, no competition, no challenges. The problem with American education is a low ceiling of expectations. We have built schools that demand and teach too little, and the children have stopped jumping." - Carroll Campbell
