[OLUG] fsckin' netscape must die

[ktb]

Have you tried 4.7 yet?  I've used both 4.6 and 4.7 and they seem about
the same but who knows.  I've really never had much of a problem with
any of the Netscape browsers except occasionally I see my cpu usage is
at 100% and I have to kill it.  Netscape is such a memory hog also. 
I've also found the 4.7 mail program doesn't download my mail as
smoothly as prior versions.  Sometimes it won't download my mail so I
have to use my shell account and delete some of the mail before it will
start sucking mail in again.
