As proof to the ridiculous incompatibility between Netscape 7.02/7.1 and Windows, I offer this example: I decided to gamble on an upgrade to the newer version of Netscape, which was being advertised by the droves.
What should happen but an invariable, uncomprehending, faults that show the irreconciliability of AOL Netscape and Windows?
Faltered, I proceeded to uninstall Netscape in its entirety and tried to download the older version, only to be hamped by the inability to download one file, mail.x??? † because there was such great demand for the file and I would have to try again later. Tried, I did, days after days, until I finally succeeded.
Then, I hit a damning snag: Netscape 7.02, the older version, would not run. What came up was not any faults but a yellow screen with red text, indicating some kind of codeshit that the programmer had forgotten to hide. I don't know what's the name for that, but that was what it was. Just lines of "text windows# blah, blah, blah."
This is just one step toward the loss of faith in one of my great hope that would continue to rival Internet Explorer. Alas, the demise was already foreseen by so many commentaries that I was too blind to its faults.
Of course, the success of Netscape 7.02 before I installed Netscape 7.1 had enlivened me to the point of praising them for such a good program, but now, I realize that it must fail. And other programs will take its place, like Mozilla.
