According to these statistics if this trend follows then less than 3% of
people will be using Netscape 4 browsers now.

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
