P.S. On Netscape, I've finally decided to do some buying. Sure, this latest flaw is another embarrassment. But more deals and link-ups than ever are being inked, and they've got the resources to really spruce up Navigator and related products. I just don't see too many competitors on the horizon.
Let's not forget that Netscape is the biggest and best boon to the internet I've ever seen. It is selling more bandwith, servers, and dial-up IP than anything that has come down the road. It is enabling people to put even more info on the net, and I love it! Of course, that is why it was targetted for the 40-bit RC4 crack, its immense popularity. The total bogosity of 40-bit keys is now pretty apparent, and it is helping moves to 64-bit export, and perhaps beyond. -Thomas
