Netscape must die

Three times, netscape has crashed and rebooted my linux desktop.

I was sitting across the room, minding my own business -- not even near the computer, mind you, when it suddenly (and with no warning or provocation), rebooted.

"Crap!", I thought. "Must have something to do with the fact that Compaq sucks," instantly blaming the hardware.

So I rebooted. KDE fired up and put all my windows in the wrong place (as it normally does if you reboot without quitting KDE). So I replaced them, and then fired up Netscape.

WHAMMO!!

Or should I say... the sound of one hand clapping.

Yep. Instant Cold Miser -- Mr. Freeze.

By now, my tried little brain is starting to put the two events together. I reboot (again), and place all my KDE windows (again). I futz around, check that my mail hasn't gone into oblivion on the server because of two crashes when my mail was open. Generally everything seems to be fine.

So I fire up netscape.

Do you know what happened?

It sucked!! That's what happened!

So now I'm trying to download the latest and greatest netscape in the hope that it fixes whatever the hell it decided to do to itself earlier today. Try downloading netscape with lynx. Just try it. <sigh>.

Netscape must die.
