I can see a good 132 columns here. Microsoft should be. But it seems like AOL is making their own little monopoly. While I respect this method more than Microsoft's (Lets buy into something that has little to do with what we do (Online Services, for instance)), I still don't have to like it.. First ICQ, now Netscape, I'm curious whats next. Also I don't want to see AOL intermeshed and woven into the Netscape package, which it already includes AOL Instant Messenger (which you cannot pick to not install) with the Win32 installations. --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange, Bangor Maine USA http://www.droo.orland.me.us To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
