Double Hmmmm,

I use Netscape 4.0 and 4.5 on 3 different Gateway machines, a Solo, a
P6-180 and a 400.  Netscape is stable on all 3.  While Florida Gulf Coast
University does not endorse any specific browser, it is the default browser
installed on staff, faculty, and lab computers.  We use primarily Dell
computers and have not had reports of rampant Netscape crashing.
