Netscape set to hold or grow market share news.com Or so says Marc Andreesen, apparently on a ho-ho break. Netscape Communications cofounder Marc Andreessen said today he expected his company to "hold or grow" its market share of 67 percent against rival Microsoft's browser products on the Internet. "We are going to launch some exciting products which should help our market share," he said. Good for Netscape, I guess, but there wasn't any real news in the story. Some confusion, though: The 26-year-old cofounder of the rapidly growing Internet search engine company said the group was shifting further toward electronics commerce and business applications. Ah, Netscape, a company of many colors. It's a brownser company, a server company, a network company, a "media concern" vis. the Prince Waleed investment, and now an Internet Search engine company. Will the real Netscape please stand up? Cheers, Dan.

Dan, Re: Want to take a crack at that one? Do you consider this message valid? Sorry, but the X-Station was a bit before my time and I know nothing about it. As a kid in the late 70's, I worked as a computer operator in an IBM 360/370 shop (EDOS). The only networking of sorts that we did was with payroll, which was processed at corporate HQ via an RJE station. I remember it being very crude and slow and a general pain in the posterior to deal with. I'm not a programmer or a techno-geek, but as an interested layman and investor, I find these SI boards very educational and useful. Again, I couldn't care less if the ACSA is a bunch of crackheaded, looney tune Microsuckups. I only care if what they have to say has any validity. If it doesn't, I'm sure that you and others here will make that abundantly clear <vbg>. Regards, JB
