Given that no relevent changes were made to the browser engine itself 

(Navigator) through Communicator v 4.6.x, and only Communicator v4.7.x 

has actually brought fixes to the engine, rather than mostly cosmetic 

changes to Messenger and the rest of the bloat, Navigator 4.0.8 is still 

a good engine to browse with.


Now, Ken, as to yanking MM's chain about getting Netscape to up the 

plugin version, you  yourself should know that's like pulling eye-teeth, 

even when they are already recompiling the newest  installer for 

download. If you have to disagree here, just check the next-to-last 

download of Communicator, and find in it Stuffit Expander 4.5, Real 

Player 5, and QT 2.x, then ask yourself how long these have been out of 

date.


Just because they could easily change things, doesn't mean they're smart 

enough, or willing to do so.
