And my apologies to all those who've contributed to Mozilla., esp. if
my remarks were insulting to the great effort they've in their huge
project. May the Source be with us all!
Now that I understand the Mozilla contribution to Netscape 6, I'll
put my critique to bed along with my whinges and let their new effort
settle for a few revisions. I think I'll even try one of the ten or
so other quite usable browsers mentioned in this thread for a comparison
with what I;m using now. I might even install fetchmail as advised
from a thread within this thread (!)
It is apparent that Netscape 6 rev 3 is a beta. And I certainly wouldn't damn
a beta esp. if it is a complete re-write. Netscape 6.0 cannot be compared to
4.x fairly.
I do feel a sense of loss over losing any more development on the old series
Netscape, clunky as it was.
But hey, Bring on the new!
