Subject: netscape vs. mozilla

I thought I'd take mozilla for a spin around the
block, especially after reading about netscape's
security short-comings. I could get used to it.
The layout is essentially the same as netscape's;
but somehow feels better. Maybe it's just the
bigger default font and larger buttons ;)
But I don't think I could get used to the constant
crashing and burning. I've used mozilla for an
afternoon and already I've had to put it down with
a kill -9 more than once; clean its dumped core;
and stressed and fussed with windows that have their
title bars on the side -- the side that falls off
my screen! (What's the Sawfish equivalent of the Irix
4Dwm "alt-F7-MMB:" sort of a grab-the-window-by-the-ear
and move it where I want without havving to click
the title bar?)
Maybe what I should really do is just use mozilla to
browse with. It's probably good at that. Then I'll
need to learn how to setup procmail and migrate back
to pine for email.
