It now supports cookies. However, it still doesn't have near as good
html/java/macromedia support as even "nutscrape" :)
Has anyone out there tried Sun's HotJava browser? It tried it once under
NT and that was one of the few times that NT screwed up so bad I had to
reboot manually... I've heard that it works a lot better under unix
systems though.
Or maybe some other browser? I'm getting kind of tired of dealing with
Netscape myself and wish I had some other options... anyone?
