On the other hand, holy cow is it a memory hog. Sheepshaver's configured with 128MB RAM and Classilla's using 80 of it.
Is that much different than Mozilla 1.3.1 though? You can't expect to take Mozilla, add updates, and get something with RAM usage like Netscape 2...
I don't suppose I'm actually surprised by how much RAM it takes. It's just ugly. Given the niche this is trying to fill, well... just how many machines still in day-to-day use are there out there that are both powerful enough to really run this yet incapable of running an OS better equipped to handle such piggish software?

Good luck to them, anyway. I like their logo/branding, at least. ;^)
