  I'm not sure I'd agree completely. I believe one of the OS'
responsibilities is SYSTEM security. As I sit here hammering away
on my SGI, there's absolutely nothing Netscape can do to compromise
the OS or the machine, other than my little corner of it and anything
I have permissions to write to. We can't say the same about Windoze.

  I could go on and on about this, but we're all experienced
professionals here...you see the point I'm driving at.
