    Zed may be dead, baby, but Netscape is alive and kicking according to the daemons at AOHell. This from eWeek:

    Despite media reports and industry pundits over the years relegating Netscape to Internet history books, AOL has restarted the browser's development. The company plans to bring back a refreshed Netscape browser based on the Mozilla Foundation's Firefox, which will incorporate an enhanced user interface and several new features.

    A prototype of the new Netscape will debut on November 30 to a limited number of beta testers, AOL told BetaNews.

    Bah, why bother with it anymore? I'd love to be able to consign Netscape to the history books forever.

    It's bad enough Firefox has to use Netscape as its AppName. :grr:

    Isn't it based off the Netscape code?
