Netscape: We're not a browser company
"AOL Time Warner is remaking its pioneering Netscape software business into an Internet media hub brimming with Time Warner artists and publications, aimed at office workers and Web purists not already using AOL services." "The browser is a crown jewel. However, six months from now, you won't consider Netscape to be a browser company," Netscape President Jim Bankoff told Reuters in an interview, referring to its early role in creating the first popular tool for surfing the Web. http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2769610,00.html -- -- ----/ / _ Fred A.

Ok Fred. haven't finished the article, reading right now. But I had to comment on the face of the message - "...brimming with Time Warner artists and publications, (here's the good part) aimed at office worker...." If I'm a division manager of department VP the last thing I want is my "office workers" doing is surfing the web on company time looking at "Time Warner artists and publications." I'd really want my employees "DOING WORK", don't ya think? I think any corporate at, or above, the level of VP should be forbbiden from making press releases. Is it me or do they seem to say the most moronic things. I'm sure that the Netscape employees only look at "Time Warner artists and publications" in the context of their work - I don't think they get encouraged to surf for online tickets or job posting do they? Just an observation. Cheers. Curtis On Thursday 07 June 2001 01:52 pm, Fred A. Miller wrote:
