Good to see that Netscape is continuing with its tradition of
providing the same level of garbage as Microsoft, while getting to be
thought of as the picked-on underdog hero with a great product in the
little browser war...
And before the holy war erupts, make sure you note I said "same level
of garbage as Microsoft."
Although I must admit IE5 is darn near rock-solid for me on multiple
platforms. In fact, during the last week I was asked to check into 3
separate problems in one of my labs involving web browsers (gifs not
displaying properly (until you minimized the browser, then maximized
it), plug-ins not launching properly (twice) and all three times the
problem browser was Navigator/Communicator, with IE5 doing just
fine...
Doesn't do me any good on my own Redhat box, tho.
