Right, it is quite a bit better than Netscape 6.1. IE 3.0 was quite a bit better than Netscape 6.1, years ago. Communicator 4.7x is better than both of them, especially in the mail/news department. Browser-wise, IE6 beats the bejesus out of all of those combined. However, none of this has anything to do with CVS.
