Lee's right, but I'll add this:       > Get a frickin life.              Hold on there Peter.              On second thought, he's right.              Netscape was showing some degree of malice and deception by altering       their corporate policy the way their press releases indicated.              Sure, it happened years ago, but that doesn't make it any less       relavent if we're talking about Netscape's history, or their planning       or business strategy when they were getting off the ground.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
