Prodigy users (1-2 million) don't use netscape.  Compuserve users (2-3 
million) won't be using netscape.  AOL users (2 million) won't be using 
netscape.  Pipeline/PSI/MCI (1 million) users won't be using NetScape, 
Netcom users (<1million) won't be using netscape.  

Many people have downloaded NetScape, but how many have paid for it?

It's your $25,000 for the netscape server, if you want - go for it.

This is what I got when I connected to your URL:

Error code 500

Connection Error

InterLock could not connect to server www.webmedia.com on port 80

Reason: A route to the remote host is not available.
