…when the post with the most replies, most of the replies don’t even relate to the post… oh well.

Well, it is in a very beta pre-release, and i think they prbably released it for two reasons: a) real world feedback b) to stop the bleeding from IE 5.0. I think that the final will be something to behold, hopefully.

ok. I watched a documentary on the Netscape coders last night. They seem like actual people to me now. Consider this my public apology to Netscape. I’ll try version 6 at home. If it craps out there, I’ll wait for the final release. If THAT craps out, then I’ll start bitching again.

Well, Kev-bo, it is a preview release after all… i’m just happy that it is smaller and quicker than it was.
Oh, and sorry about the double quotes.. i’m working on that…

Here’s a tip for anybody posting here…DO NOT TRY TO USE DOUBLE-QUOTES IN YOUR TEXT! You end up posting 3 or 4 partial messages and looking like a total boob. Well, it’s probably not that far from the truth.

Yeah, I downloaded it. I installed it. I said `What the fu*k?`
The thing takes forever to load. Once it’s loaded, the UI is horrible. I tried using the mail client..BIG mistake. The mail client is buggy as an insectorium. I would have uninstalled it, but it doesn’t come with uninstall capability. You can’t even use `Add/Remove programs` from the control panel to get rid of this thing. Netscape, Schmetscape. IE may be a tool of the Devil, but at least the damn thing works. I guess this is just a side affect of AOL’s involvement.
