I tried to find technical info and the fine print about "free", but it
was pretty awkward to follow their fancy navigation gadgets. Nottaworry,
Netscape exploded and disappeared on the third page.

This is all that URL showed with lynx. I wonder which operating system
they expect lynx users to have :-)

These people know their business and do it to a consistently high standard.
Here they demonstrate how well they can provide for unix users' needs.
What a shame I'm too silly to be able to find out more about this product.

Seriously, I would like to know what conditions they place on the
download and use (private/commercial) of this software.
