Well fine, you decide what it said ten years down the road.


I LIVED through it, and was part of it. I KNOW that very few met those 
conditions at the time of the offer.

So go ahead and argue all you want what you think, it doesn't matter in 
the slightest. Most people paid for Netscape up to the fall of 1997, 
that's a fact.

Obviously you weren't there, I was. But feel free to misinterpret, 
somehow it suits you
