"Everyone I know downloaded Netscape for free" I don't know about everyone, only my experience with netscape. I dl'ed it and I remember there was a time limit for free use of that browser & after the free, full functional demo, one was required to register & send in about $50. Of course things were changing very fast at that time, and still are, so I suppose the company policy you ran into was dependant on the time frame you used netscape. JH

They made their money from their web server. And they'd be getting creamed now by the free Apache server, too. If I'm not mistaken Apache running on Linux is the number one web server platform. So much for that MSFT monopoly. Oh, yeah. The judge decided not to count that market, didn't he.
