As I look out from my ivory towers, I can see how mistaken I am. My speculation of $.05/share earnings after charges (1) was gross hyperbole on my part and I do apologize. But riddle me this, Mr. Insider. Since Netscape has already shipped 38 million browsers (an impressive market penetration of ~300%) and Nav 3.0 will ship late August at earliest, how will Netscape maintain a revenue stream for the next quarter, considering browser sales continue to make up 60% of revenue? Who's left? The remaining 8 companies on the Fortune 100? Secondly, who would want to buy said browser when Microsoft offers a similar product for free, but which is more robust and feature-rich (2)? And happens to run Java faster, too (3).
