[techtalk] netscape woes

[TheCoder]

Leave netscape running for a few days.  Not even doing anything and
watch the mem usage.  Its got memory leaks.  sometimes bad.  The only
way around this (AFAIK) is to stop it periodically.

I am hoping the linux port of Opera comes out soon.  Mozilla just isnt
quite there yet...
