[thelist] Netscape... why?

It has a lot to do with peoples ability (or inclincation :-) to upgrade.
Most users faced with a 10-30Mb download over a 56k or slower link to
upgrade to the latest browser simply wont bother.

It's the same reason Netscape failed. When users had a functional web
browser already built-in to the new machine they bought, why would they
spend that time and expense to download a different one?

Cheers,

Raymond.

OK, Ive just been looking at www.thecounter.com and the browser stats over
the past
6 months and have 1 major question.

<rant type="fickle">

Why the fuck do 16606594 misguided individuals still use Netscape 4.x??

it would make our lives SOOOooo much easier if they just gave in and got a
decent browser
