...I still need to have a copy of Netscape 4.7? around -- seems some sites I find useful (http://www.bankofamerica.com/) block Netscape 6.01 and Mozilla browsers out:-(
I've actually seen sites out there that have a No Netscape 6 Image on their Welcome page and don't allow you to log in with it.
For a long time -- sites like hotmail didn't allow mozilla in at all (they do now though).
I guess what I'm trying to say is as good as the browser may now be -- the fact that it was released a tad bit too early last year has done some damage -- most of my non-geek friends don't have a very positive view of Netscape 6/Mozilla. It seems neither do some people who run websites.
Even some of my so called geek friends tryied it once when the preview release came out and were so disgusted by it they never went back to it again. Personally, I don't blame them. I think Netscape made a huge mistake by releasing the preview release way too early and now that the browser is stable, fast, and good looking there is a whole group of people that have a general distrust about it.

Really I get a message that says "Online Banking does not currently support this browser..."

At least that's the impression that I get.
