When Netscape started funding the Open Source Mozilla       organization, they called the product, which was considered only for       testing, Mozilla, and developed the code name SeaMonkey for the project.              WHen Netscape dropped development after the release of 7.1, Mozilla (the       suite) became an end user product, and retained the old Netscape codename.              When Mozilla stopped development of the suite, and it was picked up by       an independent council, they chose to go with SeaMonkey as the product       name, and became the SeaMonkey Council. Thus the SeaMonkey Suite as we       know it today.              Lee              --       Leonidas Jones, Netscape/Mozilla Champion       The Champs: http://mozillachampions.ufaq.org       Links: http://www.ufaq.org/ http://mozilla.com http://kb.mozillazine.org              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
