Netscape is not a piece of crap.  However, it has become, over the past 6 
months or so, the Beta (as in Beta vs VHS) of the browser world.  The 
browser war is over.   More and more websites and browser based services no 
longer support Netscape.  That is only going  to accelerate going 
forward.   Developers have absolutely no incentive to support Netscape 
anymore.  Everyone has a choice here.  Switch to IE or put up with the 
problems inherent in using yesterday's web technology.   In less than a 
year, Netscape will be about as useful as the original Mosaic browser or 
MS-DOS and only a few die hard LINUX nuts will be using it.   (How's that 
for a flame troll :) -uf
