    Honestly, I had completely forgotten about them, and didn't know they were still around.

    Who cares what Netscape does at this point? What a waste of programming effort.

  3. How is Netscape relevant? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    How is Gecko-based Netscape relevent? Mozilla should concentrate on only 2 browers: FireFox and K-meleon. The former is for power users. The latter is for 3rd worlders (in Thailand) and graduate students, who cannot afford powerful computers.

    What is the market for Netscape?
