Amazing aint it - a moron girl at Goldman Sachs of course told me I was crazy and anyone who felt Netscape was going to go over the top was a moron.
It may have "opened" at $28, but the first bid was $71 and now it's trading at $50something. Not quite so spectacular as at first glance... So unless you shorted it or were an insider it wasn't such a hot thing (so far). Quarterdeck is probably a better buy. ob crypto: the "top secret" source just posted looks interesting... 64-bit blocks, 80-bit keys, 32 rounds hmmmm.... andrew
