Well I didn't say that Netscape 4 didn't crash.
I just said my system had no trouble running it ;)

In fact I leave Netscape 3.01 running on my IPC for many days at a time.

I don't use CDE on these slower machines, BTW - I only have a CG3,
so I only have 8bit colour depth.

CDE eats too many colours in the colour map for me.
OTOH, FVWM2.045 works beautifully.

(uses less memory too)
