Short version:
Netscape 4.x sucks a**. Mozilla rocks.

Long version: Mozilla is a complete rewrite of a new HTML renderer
called Gecko, that is up to todays standards and actually understands
HTML 4.x, XHTML, (most of) CSS level 2, XML and does client-side
XSL-transformations. Netscape 4.x only understands technologies from
the last millenium (CSS level 1, HTML up to 4.x). Also, the
mailreader, newsreader and HTML editor were completely rewritten. So
see this as a new browser, not anything like that old beast that is
Netscape 4.x. There's a commercially branded and qa-ed version called
Netscape 6.x that also comes with lots of very important AOL software
;-)

Obfuscated Python - try it out in your Python interpreter :-)
