When installing 5, make sure to set it up so you keep your previous
version. I can run 4 and 5 at the same time on my system.

My beta hasn't said a peep about expiring. Even if it did, firing up
netscape once to DL the new version.. would only take 8 years of trying to
navigate MS's site without the "features".

Ah. MS's new flagship product that some 75% of businesses surveyed said
they aren't going to upgrade to..
