Mr. Tinkles has been at the catnip, and I thought you might like to take a look at the results:

Yeah, I know it's premature, but it just hit me this morning that a
couple of songs from Evita (slightly modified) would be great for the
soon to be celebrated rollout of Netscape 7.1, so....

Celebrating Netscape 7.1, Evita style!

Sung by Netscape 4.x
--------------------
Don't cry for me Netscape enthusiasts
The truth is, I never left you
Through all my wild days
My mad existence
I'll keep on rendering (as best I can!)
Don't keep your distance...

Sung by Netscape 7.1
--------------------
There again I've more to do
Than simply get the message through
I haven't started
Let's get this show on the road
Let's make it obvious
Gecko is off and rolling

I came from the people, they need to adore me
So Christian Dior me from my browser to my AIM
I need to be dazzling, I want to be Skypilot High
They must have excitement, and so must I

I'm their product, it's vital you open source, not sell me
So Machiavell me, make me a Rendering Rose
I need to be thrilling, I want to be Skypilot High
They need their escape from IE, and so do I

All my adoring Gecko Geeks expect me to outshine the enemy
I won't disappoint them
I'm their savior, that's what they call me
So Lauren Bacall me, anything goes
To make me fantastic, I have to be Skypilot High
In Toy Factory colors

You're not decorating a Suite for a night on the town
And I'm not a second-rate renderer getting kicks with a crown

Next stop will be Redmond!
The Netscape Suite's gonna tour, dressed up, somewhere to go
We'll put on a show

Look out, mighty Redmond
Because you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Mozilla's brand of RED star quality

I wonder what Andrew Lloyd Weber would think of the new lyrics? Things that make you go hmmmm

That is VERY good! :lol: :lol: :lol:

The only problem? Mr Tinkles mentions the image blocker, which has been removed from NS 7.1.
