| Description: | More art than browser, this program lets you view content on the Web in a new and revolutionary way. Images and fragments of text float across the screen, moving at different speeds in relation to the position of your cursor. You do not navigate by clicking hyperlinks or typing in URLs. Instead, you type in questions, phrases, or words, and netomat responds by altering the flow of information to include related elements from the Web. All elements are stripped of their original context and set loose from all constraints of static page design. | ||||

| Description: | Netscape has released a preview of the new Communicator suite. The company dropped the name Communicator from the suite and now the entire suite is simply called Netscape.

It now comes with designer skins, called 'themes', to customise Netscape's look and feel. It also saves all your Web passwords in one encrypted file on your PC, so they're protected from intruders. | ||||
