With respect to AOL & Netscape, I do know that AOL owns Netscape, however, what I was referring to is not knowing how tightly woven Netscape is in AOL's business model. For instance... Are they planning on recommending a switch to Firefox if they are ending support for Netscape ? I am just not that familiar with AOL, as I have consciously stayed miles away from the company and their proprietary model. Just my thoughts... Regards, Kevin.
