Right, Keith. Browsers aren't the only software that's easy to copy, you know. Maybe you ought to take a trip to Hong Kong some time, I hear most software goes for marginally more than $0.00. Even Bill's precious OS, and other stuff of Microsoft's. Of course "politically naive software engineer" Bill has that other Bill on the case, negotiating precious intellectual property rights with the commie Chinese for him. I know it was a long piece, Don, but you did snip out the important context, that being Netscape's "zero enforcement" shareware policy. Heck, I gave my name and address when I downloaded it; all Netscape had to do was send me the bill. (Small b.) They never did, in any sense of it. So whose fault is it they never got my money? Is a six billion dollar corporation supposed to be run on donations? How naive is that?
