I saw this blurb on Yahoo

America Online said it plans to launch its new Netscape Web browser on Thursday, marking its latest effort to challenge the dominance of Microsoft Explorer as the standard tool for surfing the Internet. The software, which has been in user tests since May, promises faster and easier navigation of the Web, although surveys show its market share has been dwarfed by Microsoft. Research firm WebSideStory issued a study that says that Netscape's global usage share has dropped to 3.4 percent.

Ok time to mail Aol/Netscape a dollar so they can rent a clue. We were using this at home for Liza and we discovered one remarkable thing! Their browser sux. Big time. It is bulky and unwieldy and has major problems reading basic HTML code. Now that Netscape is not an independent company no one really cares anymore. Can anyone have sympathy for the "little guy" anymore when they are a part of the Time Warner Conglomerate. Microsoft vs. TWC. YAWN. Speaking of that look to see that "AOL" part of AOL Time Warner start to slowly slip away. Consigned to the same dust bin of economic history as Mr. Roebuck. Remember him?
