I've looked at some numbers from some sites: what I've found is that
Netscape's numbers are 20x greater than the closest viewer (mosaic). I was
disappointed in the numbers for AOL and Prodigy, very small. Its very
tempting to use the Netscape exclusive features. If many others ites are
getting these types of numbers I'd say mots will be soon using the full
asortment of Netsacpe features. As for graphics/pictures, many of you
aren't excited but those are the areas we are getting the most people.
Again very attempting to increase the use of pictures and graphics.
