Hi
N6.5 is quite pesimistic.. 6.1 or 6.2 could be ok.. But 6.01 is yes, unusable. For
Moz 0.8, i agree that it shall replace Netscape 4.x (or N6) easily.. although there
are quite a lot of known bugs, even nightly builds are much better, comparing to N
4.x or N6 in terms of stability and functionality.
But beware, if your Computer does not have 64M or more RAM (64 is acceptable but more
is better) or if you have very slow CPU (like slower than 266-300Mhz) Mozilla or N6
might be quite painful, at least for now.
