I don't know about the PC version, but Mac 2.0b2 works OK (for a beta), as
long as you don't let its amazing memory leak fill its Get Info
allocation. I give it 15 MB, open About This Macintosh, and keep an eye on
the RAM bar. WIth that much RAM to play in, it'll last for a couple of
hours. When it hits 90% or so, it's time to quit and relaunch Netscape.
Otherwise...kaBOOM!
