A lot of Netscape users prefer 4.7 to any of the newer versions, and I
would not call it "antique."   It's important to realize that not everyone
updates relentlessly to the latest version of something, and that many
seasoned computer users are wary of the latest updates, preferring less
bloated software.   And not all of us have the latest computer, either....
