Welp... get out yer checkbook... ;-) Currently, We're buying everyone
a copy of Netscape Navigator, with the subscription option to
Communicator when it comes out. I think though... you might see a
"freeware" version of Netscape Navigator hitting the market sometime...
but again this is PURE SPECULATION on my part... not based on any fact
whatsoever. The good news is that they give great volume discounts
right now.

Pro Noblem amigo... just hope that everyone else keeps throwing their
$.02 worth in on the subject... that's the only way we'll all be able to
keep up with this mess... myself included!
cheers,
