RE: Re: [TCLUG:5340] Communicator 4.0 vs. 4.5

[chad@speed-racer.com]

i have been running netscape 4.07 for the last year or so since it came out.  i have 
almost never had a problem with it.  when ie 5 came out i decided i might as well 
as go ahead and upgrade to 4.51, since then it has crashed 2-3 times but when it 
dies it comes up with somekinda "bug report" form that fires off an email discribing 
the error and submits it to ??( mozilla.org maybe).  anyway this seems like a good 
idea, sending the error report to the dev. team.but it is stable, the crashes were 
due more to having to many things running at once on this winbloze box than there 
was a problem with the netscape( btw, ie 5 is huge, n4.5 is big but no where as 
big as the kludged m$ app, imho).
there's my 2 cents to this thread...
