NSCP is a pla-uh ! I believe that netscape.com is the #2 most popular (often visited) site on the net. (see hot100.com ) NSCP is the next Yahoo! Both are just funnels of internet users to their particular sites. Right now, no one reads anything on the Netscape site, as they scan for the words "download free" (the browser). As soon as they make a Yahoo! type "content" page, they'll be a Yahoo! competitor. The Real Business Model I'm going very long tomorrow morning on NSCP, and I don't care about the browser "market". The only issue that is all-important is whether the 3rd-party (e.g., GNU, see mozilla.org) browsers will have the default home page set to netscape.com. The business model for NSCP should be "browser = funnel to www.netscape.com"! The browser must be developed to maintain the traffic to the website. Steve
