Not to go too far off topic, but even Netscape 7 or Mozilla can't replace
Netscape 4.8 for us at the office on Windows, for one simple reason.  I
have yet to find a decent systray mail notification program like what 4.8
had.  I don't understand why they removed it.

The one or two I've found, wanted 40-50 bucks per copy, with site licenses
going to about 25 a copy.  Bit pricey for a wavey flag in the systray.

It's almost to the point of me hacking something up myself.  Considering
that I'm not a programmer beyond debugging pre-written C, that's pretty
desperate :D
