I hope Simon's answer and the post that started it, was Tongue in Cheek.
But.... That's what I i knew all along. Evidently they don't get it.
Who are you developing it For.
Simon, and Asa yo use. I don't think so.
It industry Hp, Netscape, Microsoft (well that's a stretch) Sun.
Macromedia, Sony, JVC,
amd for John and Jane Smith and their equivelents.
In other word "END USERS". If not then you had better pack up your Bags
and Go home.
The "Prime Directive" (Star Trek terminology) of Mozilla is to make a
Killer application to Bury Internet Explorer/Outlook Express so well
that MicroSoft will discontinue it. And Put Mozilla/Netscape as the A-1
Prime WEb Browser/Email Client on the planet.
The prime concern of anyone not working for Microsoft should be work for
there demise or at least reduce their importance in the realm of things.
Do we realize Mr Gares could buy the entire USA and have money left over.
