jwz wrote the original email client of Netscape Navigator Suite. (He also wrote singlehandedly the first version of Netscape Navigator for Un*x.) While you're right that I was a bit over-the-top with my sarcastic "millions" remark, usage of that now-defunct suite _was_ very widespread, both on Un*x and Windows.

That wasn't quite my point. My "point", is that one should avoid equating "market share", or "number of users" with quality. That isn't saying anything about the quality of jwz's work. Just because more people watch American Idol than watch Nova on PBS doesn't mean American Idol is "better". :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
