   And then there are those of us who don't use Netscape for much the same
reason as we don't use Microsoft: a disagreement with some of the business
principles shown by the company, and the fact that neither are truly free
software.  I dislike blatant attempts to 'hijack' standards.  I use Mosaic
because Lynx doesn't do graphics, Amaya is nice but not as stable as I'd
like, and Grail is definitely in the 'not ready for prime-time' category.
