- The problem here is that Netscape-formatted pages are becoming more
- and more prevalent on the Web, not less. Stats I've heard say that
- over 90% of folks browsing the Web are using Netscape.
-
- Now whether Netscape has done a good thing or a bad thing with their
- custom tags, I won't argue about. However, unless Amiga owners are
- content to spend their lives as "second class web citizens" then
- don't you think we should have a browser that can display Netscape-isms?
- Netscape's not going to go away.
