Netscape, thy days are numbered...

redneckgaijinSo, thanks to a friend, I have a new computer.
Unfortunately, I have to buy a modem and a DVD-R drive before I can shift over to using it as WLP's main machine. (The modem for obvious reasons; it has an Ethernet card, but I'm clueless about it. The DVD-R drive is to bear off the first ten new Doctor Who episodes which currently take up about 70% of the new machine's hard drive, and each of which is larger than a CD-R's capacity.)
On that new computer my web browser will be either Mozilla (pre-installed) or FireFox, depending. It will NOT be Netscape 7.1, which among other things causes my LJ windows to have a menu-editing overlap.
This overlap glitched up my first attempt to back-date the "Internet Denizens: Ho'd" post to when it was first written, and thus forced me to write this post apologizing for the inconvenience and pointing to the damn thing's current location:

The fact that the thing is a memory hog of the first order also annoys me.
Soon, all too soon, I shall take about $40 and go buy a combination DVD-R / CD-R drive at Wallyworld... and then you, Netscape, shall be a thing of the past.
(And shortly thereafter the long-promised Cream & Sugar collection can be put into production...)
