A question has been raised as to whether or not I wasted my time supporting "The All-New Netscape Navigator" (version 9).
I would say that Netscape ^almost^ died, until a few months ago when they released this "all new" version 9. It didn't die. And when it was released, I got a half dozen requests from users to support it.
Personally, I'm not very impressed with the "all new" Navigator 9, because it seems to be literally just Firefox 2.0 in a different skin. Why not just use Firefox? Some people prefer green to orange, maybe. But, oh, well, this made it a rather easy programming task, since all I had to do was factor a superclass out of my Firefox code and make a new little subclass for Navigator.
Was it a waste of time? Maybe, but it wasn't much time.
Not like Firefox 3. That's going to take ^alot^ of time.
