> No, Microsoft killed Netscape. AOL just stopped paying for life support.
Actually the pay for Netscape model killed Netscape. Free that works will always garner more users. By the time Netscape responded, IE had the market. Of course AOL for quite some time relied on the gecko engine as the basis for Netscape, meaning that it was just a slightly different flavor than the rest of the Mozilla offerings. For a long time, no new versions came out. Of course we're also talking about the same folks who refused to create an AOL client based on the gecko engine, then giving up Internet Exploder as the browsing engine for AOL too. I know stupidity when I saw it, and AOL hasn't really been good at predicting the market since dialup faded. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
