If netscape survived and was eventually bought out for a hefty sum, anything else can survive. Alomex, This is the issue in question. Netscape was a KP child. AOL is a KP child. AOL bought out Netscape at a heafty sum. Specualtion could be KP had influence on this decision and possibly AOL really had no use for Nescape. I believe James Morris was making an observation of this sort as long as a year ago or more. James was saying AOL will buy AMZN. KP still is on AOL's board and AOL may buy AMZN for a hefty sum even though AOL has no use for it. This is speculation that could truely occur and you would have read it first from James Morris. This is not way means that Netscape had real value to AOL or that Amazon has real value to them either. On the other hand, there may be some value but I can't say I know what it is. I would have been very surprised at the Netscape buyout had KP not been on the board of both.
