If using dos and netscape is giving you guilt pangs http://www.linux.org/
Run Linux on your machine, run Xmosaic on that as your browser. Totally
free, totally open, plus it will give your computer skills the workout they
need (he says writing from his girlfriends mac, hey we only have one modem!
and no money for ethernet at the moment) and you will not be beholden to
any one corp for your os.

Now I personally don't think that you are being a bad citizen for using
Netscape, it downloads pages the quickest, and the proprietary extensions
are rather cool, my big beef is with the way they are going about it. I
think that thier product is way cool. Use what works for you, and what you
feel comfortable with. Though I will state that taking the plunge into
UNIX (mainly Linux) will earn you hacker points.

First tell me the one thing we all agree on. Last I can remember was that
the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers sucked big time and we wished they would
go away. :-)
