     In that case, Grant (Peter) is most likely right, the information is   
   probably outdated. That does not mean its wrong though.   
      
   If you are looking for a replacement for Internet Explorer, Netscape can   
   be a good choice. Netscape 8 is the cuurent release3:   
      
   http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/   
      
   The current version is 8.1.2.  8.1.3, which will havce security fixes   
   will probably be out in early April.   
      
   There will be a Netscape 9 shortly after that, timeline not set yet.   
      
   You might also consider Firefox, upon which the newer Netscape versions   
   are based:
