9 Q. YOUR UNDERSTANDING -- AND I'M JUST TRYING TO GET YOUR

10 TESTIMONY, SIR -- WAS THAT NETSCAPE RECOGNIZED THAT THEY HAD

11 LEADERSHIP OF THE INTERNET CLIENT FOR WINDOWS 3.1, CORRECT?

12 A. CORRECT.

13 Q. BUT THAT THEY DID NOT WANT TO HAVE LEADERSHIP OF THE

14 INTERNET CLIENT WITH RESPECT TO WINDOWS 95, CORRECT?

15 A. CORRECT. MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THEY WANTED US TO STEP UP

16 AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE THE UNDERLYING CLIENT

17 TECHNOLOGIES SO THAT THEY COULD INVEST THEIR RESOURCES IN

18 THINGS THAT THEY SAW AS THEIR GOING FORWARD CORE COMPETENCE.

19 Q. NOW, MR. ROSEN, IF, AS YOU SAY, NETSCAPE DIDN'T WANT TO

20 CONTINUE ITS LEADERSHIP OF THE INTERNET CLIENT, WHY WAS IT

21 NECESSARY TO WREST LEADERSHIP FROM THEM, WHICH IS WHAT YOU

22 SAY HERE THAT YOUR GOALS SHOULD BE?

23 A. AND BY "WREST," I MEAN "TAKE."

24 Q. BY "WREST," YOU MEAN NETSCAPE WANTS TO GIVE IT TO YOU

25 AND YOU OUGHT TO JUST TAKE IT FROM THEM?

42

1 A. YES.

2 Q. ALL RIGHT, SIR.

Harvey, it sounds like we're going deep into the Monty Python heart of darkness here. Or through the looking glass into Windows World, as I used to say. There is no browser, only "internet technologies" and "browser functionality", a.k.a. "dll Hell", I think. The other obligatory reference has to be tHHGttG. The whole thing gives me a terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side.

Cheers, Dan.
