Phil, don't rumour monger. NS did NOT say they were out of the browser business.
It's that Netscape is going to throw more weight into their web business
(Netcenter.com and related services). Some pinhead reporter forgot that since
the Browser is free, that means that there's no revenue from it, and they have
to find a way to make money. Netcenter is that way. They're pushing it harder,
not dropping the Browser. They want to be known as more than a Browser Company.
