Yes, it is true. And Microsoft didn't "intend" on Netscape crashing - it was more along the lines of updating code that caused the engine that drove Netscape to crash in the vdm. There were a few ways around that problem, but it was there for a short while. Why do you think that Microsoft has been so DEFENSIVE about what's on the desktop? They're keen to have programs on the desktop that are within THEIR grip - be it browser or otherwise. Nowadays, people are more keen about it, and they're having to slack off of being so "proprietary", but that's what's their downfall. -- Tue Nov 12 22:25:00 EST 2002 -------------------------------- | __ __ | | / \ /| |'-. | | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | | | / \__.`=._) (_ |kuhn media australia | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| |http://kma.0catch.com | |'. `\ | | |stephen kuhn | ;"""/ / | | |email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| |mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " |linux user:267497 -------------------------------- Your parity check is overdrawn and you're out of cache.
