Giota Netscape is a fine company.......and yes that is a brilliant move. It is just too bad the DOJ didn't get on MS sooner for giving away a product. Instead of repairing the situation.....they let it break down first and put a bandaid on it at best. I've been playing this on the 50DMA...TA stand point, only. Currently dropping at about .20 a day....and at 24.50ish. Stock turns up in 30 days or less....at least thats my time frame for re-entry.

Certianly this would now qualify for one of the things I like best about a company......completely out-of-favor....all time lows....bottom of a long term trend line. And holding that 'bottom'.......this thing has traded almost perfectly within a channel...if you put up a chart and draw a line thru the highs...and then thru the lows. It's damm near a prefect picture. I sold out in 1996 at 60.125.....bought it back and traded the snot out of it from 25 to 43........if it stays true to from she'll hit $35 as a high this year. The news you are looking for is a CPQ, DELL, or a GTW is putting the browser in their new boxes, or anybody else for that matter. Buy putting out the source code and making the browser public domain....I can't see one reason why a box maker wouldn't want to have a co-Branded browser in their new boxes. ie....they could customize the browser to online service & help from the box maker....banks could distribute a co-Branded Bank version for online banking.....isp can set the thing up...any way they want. Companies could set up browsers for their internal IntraNets....and the list goes on and on and on........and on....and on. And on. It's the difference between 'forcefeed' & 'freedom' If you want an Idea of what I'm saying....look up at your Icon bar...... Whatever you want it to be Man! Have it your way!
