I don't disagree. A fat, out of shape guy running a mile is a major
accomplishment. For him. But he's no competition for Olympic
athletes. And in this race, the Olympic athletes don't cost any more,
and eat less.

I've used the Netscape newsreader since (IIRC) it first came out, and I
desperately wanted Mozilla's to be a viable replacement for it. It
isn't. It won't be by 1.0 time. I don't believe it ever will be.
I haven't used Netscape email since I got Outlook, because Outlook is
simply so much more advanced, slick, and usable. Of course, it can
barely cope when asked to deal with the all-so-complex straight-ASCII
email, so I wouldn't be completely adverse to switching there either.
But it just ain't going to be to Mozilla, from all indications that I
can see.
