One place where you have NScape beat hands down!

I was monkeying around with the latest NetScape on both Mac and SGI systems and noticed that once a page with frames was loaded, if you resized the browser window to make it wider, the frames did not resize to fit. Instead you only got a grey area in the extra browser window space.

Reloading the page solved the problem, however considering how much I'm resizing things, this would seem to be a real pain. I've noticed that most Mac users don't care to multitask though. They usually have their browser taking up their entire screen, so I suppose they've never noticed this bug.

As for an OW bug report, I have noticed that every once in a while it get gets caught up in some process that maxes out my cycles app. The only way to stop it is to quit OW. Unfortunately, it is intermittent and not yet obvious what causes it. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?

Anyway, as soon as you reimplement the drag and drop images feature and add Java, RealAudio, Inline Video and support for Photoshop Plug-ins (I have a feeling this will be the next big announcement from NetScape and Adobe), then we'll be all set :-)

But seriously, keep up the great work! I know you said we shouldn't use this beta for real work, but it is already stable enough and more useful within the NEXTSTEP environment than any version of NetScape on either our Macs or SGI.

When will you be selling multi user licenses?
