  Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer
 
(...) Yeah, it does. Thanks. So what that probably means is that within a year or so we'll have a version of mozilla that ultra-geeks know and love, maybe within 5 years we'll get some media hype, then we'll see normal people move over to it, some (...)

  Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer
 
(...) You repeat this over and over again, as if simply stating it will somehow make it more obvious and more true. Mozilla may turn out to be more than a browser. But who is making it? (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
