Well, IE4 will disappear sooner. I expect that at the end of summer we don't 
have to worry about it any more. My criterium is that it has to have less 
than 3 % market share to be disregarded.

Also, now that we can do nice things that crash Netscape 4 but work fine in 
other browsers, I suspect this will be done more and more often, so that 
even diehard NN4 users will get the message and upgrade.

But maybe you're right. For the moment, though, I assume that in December at 
the latest we'll say goodbye to Netscape 4.

We'll see how it works out,

ppk
