LOL, that's what I used to call it (and snickered like you) until I started using 7.0.

FireFox, which I've used and compared extensively, can't hold a candle to Netscape's features and controlability (including security). Plus, it has some serious compatibility issues with some websites. The problem I have with Netscape is it's Bookmarks....it's not as easy to organize as FireFox/IE. Other than that, people have a false impression that NS hasn't changed since 4.0. Netscape's password (security encryption) and forms manager is way ahead of IE or FF. Keep in mind that FF doesn't support ActiveX.

Being that NS 8 is in beta, it is buggy, so beware. Also, there's no email client :(

Do you have any word on when it will be out of its beta stage? It sounds very promising! :)
