IP: Netscape -- time to get real

I walked in this morning and saw that finally Netscape has managed to get their correction to their random number 
sloppyness fixed. So I go to software and pick up the patch to update their 1.2 version of Navigator for WIN95 to their 
1.22 version. Of course I do this by activating the Navigator which instantly tells me my version has expired (first 
ever warning) and all I can do is FTP. So I try to find a 1.2 or even a 1.22 to continue my actually critical use of 
the Web for class. Sorry there is NOT a 1.2 or a 1.22 anywhere on Netscapes world. So here I am screwed to the wall 
with no browser. 


That aint rational behavior out of a company that claims to be in the service business (and their phone does not asnwer 
(too early in Silicon Valley).


Damn it
