And ie5 on Mac is pretty much standards compliant, like NS6

>As someone once said here: AOL owns Netscape now. What would happen

Not if. When. Otherwise, why buy it?

>>I'm in a quandary.....should I modify all my sites that don't work in NS6?
>>or should I just wait for Netscape to die the horrible death it deserves and
>>disappears from the face of the planet?
>>Answers on a postcard please.....
