I still have Netscape 4.06 which is ancient in computer terms but nevertheless it can handle most things the modern web throws at it. Mozilla is my browser of choice now though!

Except for most pages written mostly with W3C standards compliant code.
A few examples:
Eric Meyer's CSS Demo -
Mozilla.org -
CSS ZenGarden
These sites, and many others, cannot be displayed properly in Netscape 4.x.
Essentially, Netscape 4.x is not just ancient, but completely, 100% obsolete.

Last time I tried my website with link tags pointing to the stylesheets instead of imports (henceforth allowing NS4 to see the CSS) it crashed.

I use Mozilla Firebird, it's really useful for people like me who needs to develop websites, which is cross browser compliant(I just hope my mocks website is!)

Quite like Firefox but try using IE6 in XP on Metropol and you'll find that it looks 100 times better.

you keep saying that JM but the only differences I can see are the thinkness of the quote box and the size of the topic title on these pages, both of which would easily be fixed
