Netscape 7.01

Postby Edward » Thu 05 Dec, 2002 6:26 pm

Any truth to the rumor that 7.01 is going to be released tomorrow (Friday)?

(On a somewhat-related note, I have seen screenshots of AOL Communicator, and (unfortunately) some have thought AOL Communicator is going to replace Netscape. I do NOT believe a word of that. AOL Communicartor seems to be simply no more than a combined AIM/AOL e-mail client suite with a Netscape front end.)

secnews

I always thought Netscape released versions on Thursdays, but the 7.01 directory on the FTP server is still locked.

Hmm, I haven't noticed this pattern. :-)g

As far back as I can recall, I always read on Thursdays and on secnews, that a new version of Netscape was released that day.

Perhaps that has since changed. :D

(I know MS used to release new versions of IE on Thursdays, don't know if they still do that.)

This is the Newsgroup thread where the poster suggested that 7.01 would be officially posted tomorrow on the Netscape site:

snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/asnd78$iho8@ripley.netscape.com

Back in 1997 when I finally graduated from the Commodore 64/128 and bought a Windows-based PC (custom-built, running Win 95 OSR2 which came with IE 3 that could be uninstalled/removed), the first application I downloaded from the Internet, was Netscape.

Still use Netscape today. :)

The Netscape Champions on secnews have been great all these years helping fellow Netscape users, and I'm glad to see some of them are still at it today.

Well, today is Friday.

Checked the FTP Server, very slow response time, so I hoped 7.01 was released today. Then the little box came up..."Permission Denied". :(

SO much for rumors... :?
