Booooo! least the linux license works on the solaris beta of v5 :/ i was kinda suprised.. your best bet is probably netscape 4.7x, sure it crashes sometimes and is a bit slow ..but treat it good and it can be a good browser(i rarely have problems but i am also very careful). im also suprised on how well designed it was for security. new bugs keep comming out for IE and more recently opera, and netscape 4.x is unaffected by them..since i bet the 4.x codebase hasn'thad much work done in several years..that shows me that the coders had a very well designed browser. only problem was the WWW evolved, and Netscape 4.x didn't evolve with it .. i just $E(I#$ wish mozilla or netscape 6 would have included roaming access, thats one of the best features of netscape 4. nate
