RE: FN-FORUM Netscape 6 & Flash & HTML errors

Good point about Linux, I wasn't aware it can't run IE5. Saying that though
I would guess that most users of Linux are Developers of one sort or another
and will often run Linux on a second system. I wouldn't have thought it was
particularly mainstream though. That isn't to say that the use of non bog
standard software can't be seen as a kind of art form in a sort of Art for
art sake, money for God sake type fashion. Netscape may be work of art but
as such it may have little or no practical use or usage.
