And it still crashes when more than one window with Java Script is open, right? Like it has since v1.0 (or earlier).

Stupid Netscape, browsers are for Microsoft.

I suffered with Netscape 3.x for years just to avoid using IE. Then when I switched to IE like two years ago I was like "wtf was I thinking?! This is so much more stable!"

yeah i used to use NS4.7 for my mail as well. it was great when it worked, but as my mailbox got bigger (as in 100+ megs) the thing just stopped working. crashing all the time. on multiple systems as well so it wasn't an install problem. i ended up having to go to outlook express for mail. sigh, i miss some of the cool things in NS mail... soon work is going to force regular Outlook on us which i hear is a complete bowl of ass. yay.

as for regular netscrape, i gave up on it too. i hated the early versions of IE, but the current isnt so bad, or i have gotten used to it at least.

I wish I could run IE on my linux boot because I really dislike netscape. Opera is just a total piece. Moz is ok, but I end up using Konquer most of the time.

Major improvements went into the browser from the godawful 6.0 to the somewhat nice 6.1 release. But as someone who loves the Communicator 4.7 mail client, I found the settings in 6.1's mail client frustrating as hell, and I hope they fixed that. Oh and the integrated AIM, that can be flushed and forgotten please. Guess I'll be looking to mozilla after all.
