True. I've tried v2.0b yesterday. It looks nice, except for some
inexplicable reason it keeps telling me that file ~.netscape/lock
exists and assumes that someone else is running Netscape and uses
my .netscape* files, which isn't true. It says that even if I'd
remove ~/.netscape/ prior to starting Netscape. Had anyone ran
into this phenomena or it's just me?
