In answer to your question about why not X.. I definitely use X at home and I love it :)
Unforunately, I work for a church organization which doesn't have the funding to give me nice computers. Also, I am trying to emulate our user base which are generally churches and home users with not up-to-date equipment. We have 90% using IE and nearly 10% Netscape with others being absolutely negligible, less than .05%. For platforms, we have 10% mac and almost 90% windows with, again, others scoring less than .05%. Of the windows we even have 3.x users, so we're not working with high quality stuff! I have access to an old powermac with 9.2 and id on't even know if X will go on it. Nevertheless they're not about to go buy me a license for it - at least not this year! So I'll do my OS X testing at home :) On Tue, 1 Oct 2002, Jerry Yeager wrote: > Netscape 7 seems to have overtaken the earlier versions in that the > number of users hitting the sites is largely 7.x users. > Don't overlook the rest of the Mozilla based line though.
