And thus it begins... I think it's a bad idea to provoke the TLAs like this,
but I suppose it's inevitable. (But doesn't anyone use Macs or Suns?)

Fight for the spin: "Since Netscape isn't allowed to sell its software

technology and money."

Why would you want one when the source for Apache-SSL is available? Besides,
