I'm now using Netscape 7.2.

If I want to upgrade should I install Netscape 8 or Seamonkey?

I really like Netscape. I like an integrated suite.

Which product has the best chances of future development?

Thanks

Netscape 8 isn't an upgrade. Net 8 is a browser only and nothing
else. Netscape 7.2 was based on a product called Mozilla 1.7.2. Moz
went on to 1.7.13, then it stopped. However, some developers,
testers, users and others didn't want it to stop, so they came out
with a new product call SeaMonkey. SM picks up where Moz left off.

Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could
have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half
dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager
at the counter. "You don't?" I asked. "We only have six, nine, or
twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I
can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six
McNuggets.

SeaMonkey is your only choice, then. Netscape 8.x is a browser only.
Well, there's also Opera, but IMO its mail/news component is awful.

and with Opera is either a pain or very difficult to change its
profile. And, the mail is built into the browser part.

I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and The
lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up
one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed
it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had
scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all
over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code
she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've
changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK,"
and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue what had just
happened.

family members!

is not "too" either swift:-))

Also some of these are not a matter of "swift" as in "smart" but rather
of "swift" as in "educated" and The difference between intelligence and
stupidity is that intelligence has its limits.

Anyway, Thanks for the Smiles!

go right ahead. I don't own them. They came to me from someone, who
obtained it from someone else, who received it from some one else, and
so on. In other words, its a pass along.

Two blonde girls were working for the city public works department.
One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill
the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the
other, then moved onto the next street, working furiously all day
without rest, one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in
again. As an onlooker I was amazed at their hard work, but I couldn't
understand what they were doing. So I asked the hole digger, “I'm
impressed by the effort the two of you are putting into your work, but
I don't get it -- why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner
follow behind and fill it up again?” The hole digger wiped her brow
and sighed, “Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're
normally a three-person team. But today the girl who plants the trees
called in sick.”

Thanks. Atlease someone is enjoying them. I did have a complaint
about them being too long.

Also, I failed Engwish in school ;-)
