This is exactly why i asked *When* netscape 6 is *avaiable*.  I konw its not
out and i know that a beta does not equal a release quality.  And I would love
to beable to use mozilla so i hope that it does come to completion soon.  But
until then i will use netscape.

"O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride."
   -G.K.Chesterton: English Hymnal
