He didn't say he wasn't interesting in buying. He said he wasn't interested
in paying to VISIT a web site designed by you or some other "We love Netscape"
web designer.

For your information, Netscape is not based on ANY standards, lynx on the
other hand supports more standards than Netscape and MSIE put together.

Which features might those be? Running Java applets on a text terminal?
Maybe Shockwave animations? What about JavaScript scrollers on a status
bar (what? No status bar?? What kinda browser is that!?). As far as HTML
(the topic of this particular newsgroup) goes, Lynx does a much better job
than your precious bloatware will ever hope to do.

Web authors have been screaming for HTML3.0 (yeah yeah, it's dead...
nevertheless there are so many excellent things in it) support in browsers
all the time, Netscape didn't bother support it, MSIE didn't bother support
it...why don't they give us what we want?

And your problem with that is exactly what?

Indeed...

Well, some people are easily impressed by fluff and flashy ads...

Me, well I'll settle for a product I find to fit my requirements, price
range AND I can find information about *easily* and *fast*.

>Won't happen. Similarly, people won't switch from Netscape and IE.

Would you find it surprising that people won't switch from Opera, lynx,
w3-Emacs, Mosaic either..."Download Netscape Now!" indeed.
