If Mozilla ever needed a spokesperson...

DING!

Exactly, Darrell! Why WOULD anyone want a spyware-enhanced, AOL-bloated
browser (that weighs in at about 26-30MB for the Windows version), when =
the
EXACT SAME THING (including the controls and look) can be had directly =
from
the source, without all the excess BS AOL seems to think is "necessary" --
the source being Mozilla 1.0 at www.mozilla.org. It's been HEAVILY beta
tested by the open-source community, so this "1.0" browser is on-par with
the "6.x+" browsers from the others... Benefits: 1/3 the size of Netscape =
7,
does everything Netscape does (except crash your registries and add a
zillion software programs you don't want or have better versions of =
already
OR add "AOL" icons to your desktop, start menu, favorites, and your dog's
flea collar), and you can download the ZIPfile, extract it, make a =
shortcut,
and KEEP THE WHOLE THING CONTAINED WHERE YOU WANT IT, without having stuff
strewn all about your folders... Screw Netscape/AOL. Support Mozilla.

Just my (heavily-biased) 2c...

Why use Netscape when Mozilla is available?
