To be honest, I used to encounter far more unusable pages with NS 4.x than I do with Mozilla. And with proper stylesheet support, everything just looks better in Mozilla, too. I used to regularly have to fire up IE to view a page, but since I've been using Mozilla (I started with 0.9.3 in August), I've had no such problems, and a far more pleasant browsing experience. Now with tabbed browsing I could never go back. I'm moving all my clients who use Netscape over to Mozilla now -- it's so clearly superior to NS 4.x that it's a huge leap in performance and stability, not to mention capability to render more pages. And this, even when it's just a pre-release version. I couldn't be happier with Mozilla. -- David W. Fenton http://www.bway.net/~dfenton dfenton at bway dot net http://www.bway.net/~dfassoc
