somewhere near the temporal coordinates of 1/14/03 5:00 PM, the entity known
as Woo Lee transmitted the following from vitcitylb_at_earthlink.net:

GAG! The folks at Netscape appear to have hired folks to report on how to
design an e-mail module, then they apparently thought the report was on what
NOT to do. And they designed the e-mail module accordingly, only they went
above and beyond the call of duty in designing the poorest interface
possible. (Which, I assume, is the reason for the smiley...)
Besides, with all the bugs and all the web pages Netscape crashes on, I'm
probably going to be hiding Netscape away before I ever get close to getting
rid of AOL.
BTW, does anyone know how to tell AOL to NOT use it's own browser, for those
times when someone clicks on a link in an AOL e-mail message?? It is
probably the only app that's a bigger threat to one's HD than Netscape.
