-Paul
[
2000-07-24 14:46:00] - and at least they are trying to be original . . . making computers smaller and more futeristic
-adrian
[
2000-07-24 14:44:00] - i think they should even pull the power supply out of the computer (have like an external transformer)
[
2000-07-24 14:43:00] - but the absence of analog circuits is a nice idea . . .
[
2000-07-24 14:29:00] - I still don't like it, best of of a PC is the ability to upgrade and tweak, which is absent in Macs

[
2000-07-21 22:33:00] -
NS, however, remains, large, clunky, easily crahsible, and has poor interface, and bad options leading to user angst. Summary: IE is sufficient, NS..
[
2000-07-21 22:32:00] - I use, 5.01, is sufficiently non-crashing that I prefer it on the day to day basis over any other M$ product, with the exeption of DOS...
[
2000-07-21 22:31:00] -
Sorry, it's been a heelacious day. My comment on IE/NS. IE is, and was a shitty program, but it has gotten less shitty over the years. The version..

-Paul
[
2000-07-21 15:47:00] - the right answer would have been "i dream about aparna not programming" - aba

-Paul
[
2000-07-21 15:20:00] -
aw, poor adrian. stop being mean to him, paul.
- aba
[
2000-07-21 15:19:00] -
Well.... then maybe just nine times the programmer Adrian is
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 15:17:00] -
hehe. funny paul. i don't even know c++.

- aba
[
2000-07-21 15:06:00] - The fact that you spelled school "skool" is proof enough that you aren't
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 15:05:00] - i am just old skool
- aba
[
2000-07-21 15:02:00] - i have never even seen mosiac
-adrian
[
2000-07-21 15:01:00] - You must turn away from the dark side, embrace the light that is IE
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 15:01:00] - IE has crashed twice to my knowledge on my computer. I can't even begin to count the number of times Netscape has crashed.
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 15:00:00] - maybe it's just that i grew up using mosiac, therefore i like netscape better. whatever.
- aba
[
2000-07-21 15:00:00] - ie is indeed faster on my system, but it has that magical ability to crash whenever i most need it not to crash.
- aba
[
2000-07-21 14:59:00] -
http://www.statmarket.com/ This shows that Netscape has a small market percentage and is losing ground
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:59:00] - that's why i wanted to use it =)
-Dave
[
2000-07-21 14:58:00] - In my experience, the only reason people use Netscape anymore is because they are fanatically against anything MS
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:57:00] - (-dave)
[
2000-07-21 14:57:00] - you got me all excited when you told me about netscape 6 (aba), but it's still slower than IE and much buggier.
[
2000-07-21 14:56:00] - I would tend to agree with Paul on this one. Ironically, i've always wanted to use netscape, but it always crashes for me.
-Dave
[
2000-07-21 14:56:00] - In fact, I've heard that Netscape 6 continues the proud tradition....
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:55:00] -
hmmmm . . . that is odd . . . when i was gone, my boss took me offline
[
2000-07-21 14:55:00] - I dunno what's wrong with your computer but IE has almost always been more stable then Netscape (excluding when IE first came out)
-Paul

2000-07-21 14:55:00] -
adrian, why aren't you online? - aba
[
2000-07-21 14:54:00] - . . browser is muchmuch better than the other
- aba
[
2000-07-21 14:54:00] - not necessarily. on my system ie crashes much more often than netscape. right now code is buggy enough, that you can't for certain say that one . .
[
2000-07-21 14:54:00] - GO LYNX!
[
2000-07-21 14:53:00] - lynx 0.47% -
YEAH!!! -adrian
[
2000-07-21 14:52:00] - The fact remains that the majority of the people use IE and IE works better then Netscape overall
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:52:00] - I don't believe that they had that much but since I have no info to the contrary right now I won't argue the point
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:49:00] -
no, those studies showed that they had between 10-30% of the market, which is much less than ms, but still not insignificant
- aba
[
2000-07-21 14:47:00] - That was why they called on the government to smash MS.
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:47:00] - Meaning they had an
insignificant share of the market
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:46:00] -
Whatever, the point they were trying to make was that Netscape was pushed out
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:46:00] - I think AOL has a lot more users then that...
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:43:00] - netscape was pushed out of the market because ie was bundled with windows
- aba
[
2000-07-21 14:41:00] - (aba)
[
2000-07-21 14:41:00] - most of those sites show that ie has a majority of users, but netscape still has a
significant amount
[

[
2000-07-21 14:31:00] - I can't give you a URL though. But I will look for it.
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:31:00] - I think they meant to show that IE has pushed Netscape out of the market when MS made it free
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:30:00] - It said that very few people use Netscape. They were using it as proof that Microsoft was a monopoly (don't know how)
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:30:00] - There was a document entered by the government in the Microsoft case
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:28:00] - show me a reputable study which states that only a negligable amount of internet users use netscape.
- aba
[
2000-07-21 14:26:00] - No argument there
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:23:00] -
paul, i think you suck
-adrian
[
2000-07-21 14:07:00] - And for the record, IE does not suck
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:07:00] - So I saw it as strangely fitting that AOL should buy Netscape
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:06:00] -
See... I don't think Microsoft sucks, at least not nearly as much as AOL
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 14:03:00] -
aww . . . both aol & microsoft suck . . . what a coincidence that ns & ie both suck
-adrian
[
2000-07-21 14:00:00] - AOL is evil. I may be in the minority, but I prefer Microsoft to AOL anyday
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 13:58:00] -
however, ie is owned by microsoft. what's your point?
- aba
[
2000-07-21 13:19:00] - Let me put it this way, Netscape is owned by AOL
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 13:18:00] - Better at crashing and loading pages slowly, I agree
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 13:17:00] - but netscape is better you bizatch
[
2000-07-21 13:08:00] - Their fault for using netscape
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 13:02:00] - the can see the imood . . . that isn't the problem; the problem is if imood is slow (which it often is), then the page waits for the picture . . .
[
2000-07-21 12:41:00] -
Besides, he wouldn't be ignoring them, they just wouldn't see his Imood....
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 12:40:00] - That's not enough to participate in debates for a presidential election
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 12:40:00] - I think somewhere around 10% of internet users use Netscape
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 12:37:00] - netscape is used by a
lot of people, paul. adr can't just ignore them.
- aba
[
2000-07-21 12:18:00] - I admit, it was cough syrup
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 12:04:00] - riiiiiiiiiiiight
[
2000-07-21 12:04:00] - vodka?
[
2000-07-21 12:04:00] - hah
[
2000-07-21 12:04:00] - Of course, IE users can't spell.... (Hardley??? Too much vodka again...)
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 12:01:00] - Hardley anybody uses netscape anymore, just have a banner telling them to use IE
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 11:29:00] - if IE sucks, than heaven help the graphic adjectives that must describe netscape!
-Dave
[
2000-07-21 11:09:00] - doesn't matter what i use . . . there will still people who use netscape therefore i have to optimise for both browsers (<cough>ie sucks</cough>)
-adr
[
2000-07-21 11:07:00] - I don't think the scientific name for cavemen was "homos"
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 10:58:00] - I think homos
[
2000-07-21 10:26:00] - Simple solution to your problem, Adrian. Use IE instead of crappy Netscape
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 10:11:00] - You know, what we call those cavemen dudes
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 10:10:00] -
Hey, does anyone know what came before homo-sapien?
-Paul
[
2000-07-21 10:08:00] - friday
[
2000-07-21 09:59:00] - it disappeared a long time ago . . . i have my reasons (netscape wants there to be a height and width; the imood picture doesn't have a set h/w)
[
2000-07-21 09:24:00] - where did the imood indicator go?
[
2000-07-20 22:45:00] - I never said I quit
-Paul
[
2000-07-20 22:45:00] - I will be the last!
-Paul
[
2000-07-20 16:44:00] -
geeze, paul, you weren't even close to 500!
[
2000-07-20 16:43:00] -

2000-07-20 16:13:00] - How many more until 400
