Well well......I was just about to enter this bug report, and Netscape crashes
my computer like it never had before......what a **** surprise! :)

I've been using Netscape for more than a year, and have recently installed
version 4.61 over 4.05. I DO like
       Netscape more than IE (can't use it either due to technical issues), but
when I look at it, I'd like to ask the
       head-dude behind Netscape what they're doing, and where they think their
product is heading.

       Let's look at all the **** Netscape contains / doesn't have:

       *It crashes my computer about 15 times a week on an average basis
       *It often causes infinitive crashes in kernel32.dll
       *It _still_ doesn't have sortable bookmarks (how hard can it be?)
       *No persistent cache
       *No Getrigth-style downloads
       *If you close Netscape and quickly start it again your pc hangs, and you
need to "ctrl+alt+del-close" the exe
       *It's a nightmare trying to download updates from Netscape's site, I gave
up after 5 minutes. It's confusing, and
       doesn't allow you to use other downloaders (eg: Getright)
       *It takes me as much as 30 seconds to start Messenger and load a message
on a clean boot (PII, 64 RAM,
       5400 RPM disc, regular amount of programs installed, nothing in start
menu)
       *The offline/online thing is simply horrible, and I hate it in
comparision to the almost flawless way that 4.05
       handled it. If there was a reason to dial, it tried to, if you didn't
want it to dial, it never asked again
*It constantly build that stupid "Summary file" for the folders if it has
crashed......

Oh, and this "Mozilla" stuff is confusing........
