David,


Sorry but this is *not* an adequate response.



Sheesh bub, you sound like yer the tired and cranky infant today who's been

in their highchair too long.. 


First of all, any response that anyone on this list gives to another is

equivalent to some kind of information transfer.. Which, is what this list

is all about.. Right? So I really don't think you or anyone else is

righteous and almighty enough to judge another's response as being adequate

or correct.. Information.. That's what this is, oh, yeah, and the occasional

flailing in communication which ruts it all up..


Second, Navigator 4.0.8 is old.. It's OLD.. Let me let you in on a little

deductive reasoning tinged with a little mass appeal.. Your statement fails

from the simple fact that Navigator 4.0.8 was initially what Netscape was

shipping as their browser.. Somewhere along the way the introduced

Communicator which was a new product that INCORPORATES Navigator.. New

versions forthcoming and tidy.. Netscape Navigator? Alone out there.. Sure

you can still get it but the FACT (and logically this should be glaringly

obvious to such a smart dude as yourself) is that if it is still being

shipped with the FLASH 3.0 plug-in then Netscape obviously views it as

substandard in the marketing scheme of things, hence OLD and not worth

UPDATING.. in other words, old, not rotting or decomposing yet, but, old....



Your were right about the existence of two products from Netscape though..

Go ahead pat yerself on the back..

We're not talking about *any* plugin; we're talking about Flash 4.


BIG difference.


SO the handwriting on the wall suggests to me that, once again, and 

perhaps as a general solution (for the several cases such as this 

where MM blames the other guy or some such obvious fluff and we get 

stonewalled,) is to learn how to program around the crap. (Thanks 

again, F.)


And thanks *anyway*, MM.


Just my two cents,


Ken Sherwood
