Nonsense. This was after a clean install of Windows 98 SE on
a new 600 MHz Athlon. The machine runs everything else perfectly.

Not in my experience. Netscape's best developers are gone, and AOL
cares little about it since it's not a money maker. Frankly, I'm
surprised that they haven't just killed it off as a sacrifice to
the Great God Microsoft. Or maybe that's what they're doing --
in an unusually slow and painful manner.
