Netscape is slowly being put to death as we speak. Employees are jumping out of windows, AOL licenced everything except for Communicator/Navigator/Collabra off to "iPlanet," in hopes of drumming up better PR. And where is Netscape 5? I'll tell you, it's under Steve Case's fat ass, that's where it is. He took it from a nice developer's hands and stuck it there himself. I think this whole Netscape AOL deal is rather ironic, reguarding AOL's close ties to Microsoft in the past. Or maybe buying Netscape was part of that deal. AOL came into Netscape, said, "Hi, we're your new owners. You're fired, you're fired, and you're fired, and you need to distribute AIM with Communicator because we own you. And oh yes, that thing with the lizard? Way too tacky. And while we're at it, Marc?" Marc has already left the building. We're lucky AOL didn't do anymore than that. Yet. Sun is fine, it's just an alliance via Netscape. - -- miyax, the Evil and Sinister Prime Minister of the Silver Millennium (bwa ha ha) Also known as "Bob" on AHSM, if not there (here) nowhere else. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ For the most Interesting sites on the net, check out the Interesting Link of the Month hq @ http://secondhandwonder.virtualave.net While you're there, check out: *WinAmp Skins - for a change of interface *The American's Guide to Sailor Moon - the title says it all Click on "Return to Main" to access the mini-network.
