Netscape, meet Dead Horse. Dead Horse, meet Netscape.
Do they even have a browser presence anymore? I don't have any of the numbers (and nor do I feel like tracking any down), but I would assume they are somewhere behind Opera in the market penetration segment.
All companies I've done outward facing website programming work for have tested against the following platforms/browsers:
IE (Windows and Mac)
FF (Windows and Mac)
Opera (Windows and Mac)
Safari
I'm not kidding when I say I forgot Netscape existed for maybe a year or so until I saw this headline. And I build websites for a living.
I think if I was an engineer on the Navigator team, I'd lie to all my programmer friends and just say I worked on Real Player. It's that bad.

And what is this 'Navigator' they speak of? Is this the same Netscape that actually used to make a decent browser until they rewrote it from the ground up to be a steaming pile of dog poo?
