Hi Giota : Netscape recognizes Rhapsody 's value

Rhapsody can look forward to having more than MSFT's IE as a browser :

" Netscape announced over a year ago it would make Communicator available for Rhapsody, but that was before the source code strategy and before Steve Jobs and Microsoft CEO Bill Gates agreed to make Internet Explorer the default browser on all Macintosh systems."

Really interesting when you speculate that IBM could buy Netsacpe:

" At last month's Macworld conference, many software makers showed off their Rhapsody products. The addition of the high-profile Communicator will certainly give the OS a boost in its attempt to compete in the workstation market, where Windows NT is pushing hard against the traditional Unix flavors from Silicon Graphics, Hewlett-Packard, and others. "

Netscape is to release "Communicator" source code by 3/31/98 . Should see heightened interest in Rhapsody real soon .

Regards,
Jim K.
