Yeah, I guess you're right -- we'll all probably be moving over to Amaya soon. <g> Actually, if Netscape does lose out to M$, it will be through its own fault. They once had a lot of backing from the web community, but through arrogance and things like blink and cookies and bloat and tag-madness lost many folk's respect. But I don't see M$ doing any better, and of course at this time they are basically restricted to the tourist market. Certainly they are not coming up with anything I would be able to run -- unless I bought a Windoz box. And that ain't likely. -fep -- fepotts@fepco.com http://www.fepco.com/
