Is not! It's more like the fact that NS 7.x still includes the whole

separate the browser and the mail/news client into separate things.
So I'm still all old-school and Netscape-y and shit.

the love on a certain well-known web-based beer forum. It's amazing.
Almost reminds me of what it was like about five years ago in these
parts... almost.
