   Netscape 8 is a piece of crap. No surprise there, since AOL took it   
   over.   
      
   It does not include mail, AOL wants you to go to AOL website or   
   Netscape web site to get your mail, so you will have to look at their   
   ads. You don't think AOL is going to give you a mail program without   
   ads, do you? And they knew if they put it in your home mail program   
   you'd either 1) be offended or 2) find a way to disable them; so they   
   just avoided the issue by making you go to the web for your mail.   
      
   It's the AOL way. It's all about ads.   
      
   F___ AOL and so F___ Netscape 8.   
      
   I guess the way to go for now is to stick with Netscape 7.2 until it   
   is outmoded.   
      
   Then, when the time comes, let's hope that Firefox/Thunderbird have   
   their shit together, to switch over to that configuration. Actually,   
   they are not TOO bad, now, if you feel the need to upgrade, but I   
   found them both inferior to Netscape 7.2 when I downloaded the   
   previous versions of them both.
