Netscape may be going, but we'll see how the open-source Mozilla project
does.  For a while now, they've been essentially the same thing.  For
the last several releases, the only advantage Netscape has had over
Mozilla is a better spellchecker.  Mozilla has things that you simply
can't have in the commercial world, like popup and image blocking.
We'll see how it does on its own; AOL was providing financial support
but not much else.

See <http://www.mozilla.org> for details and downloads of Mozilla.

Internet Explorer is also going away as a standalone product:
