mozilla.org Releases Mozilla 0.9.8

asa writes: "Today mozilla.org released the Mozilla 0.9.8 Milestone. New to this release are improved Address Book functionality, page setup(for printing), MNG/JNG support, native-style widgets on winXP and OS X, dynamic theme switching, improved BiDi support, speed, stability and footprint improvements, and much, much more. www.mozilla.org and www.mozillazine.org have the full scoop." The build I'm posting with (2002020305) is a little crashy, but most aspects are shaping up very nicely.

Native widgets

I hope that Mozilla 1.0 will have native widget support for Windows 2005.

Just kidding. Good job, guys!

Why did you capitalize and add the (TM) to Real Work(TM). I've also seen that kind of thing done to Good Thing(TM) and Bad Thing(TM). What do the caps and (TM) mean???

The Jargon File to the rescue :).

• TM
• Good thing
• Bad Thing

In a nutshell, items that are capitalized have a connotation as being emphasized and self-evident. For instance, with Real Work, the author is trying to convey that he's talking about real work and nothing short of it.
