All right, I forgive. A lot are still supporting it anyway cuz there are a lot of NN users.

 IE 5.5 actually does great job displaying most of the pages

I don't care about that. Of course it displays well, everyone designs specifically for it. My problem is when it crashes and takes the whole OS down with it, which it does reliably. And Netscape almost never does that.

Oh no, it's not that high. A lot of sites design with it in mind.....

 NS 6 improved over that,

Well, that's great. My hat off to you though. I am very sorry you offer products with VBScript, though, considering a lot of browsers do not use it, so they will probably be shut out of that page. VBScript is IE-only coding, let's face it.

 Time to dump that 4.7 and install something more

It's here; I'm using it. It sucks but so do the others. I already have Mozilla 1.0, K-Meleon .6, Netscape PR7.....Moz and the new Netscape feel slow and resource-hungry, and Moz is pretty buggy.

 If you hate IE and don't want NS6, try Opera.

I already use it. :) It is already up when I am running Netscape. I have to cut and paste url's a lot over to Opera 5.12. I won't even go to Opera 6.03. It felt slow and resource-sucking to me. It's just a hassle paste the url's is all.

Sorry, I am sticking with NN for now, along with Opera 5.12. I'm sorry, man I like my apps lean and mean. So many apps nowadays (esp browsers) are coming out so fat and greedy and slow. NN is real fast :), does not suck resources :) and has a nice newsreader, and that's why I like it for now. Plus a lot of sites are designed only for NN and IE, especially member sites that need cookies to remember you. I have to access those sites in NN cuz they lock out Opera. :(
