Goodbye Netcaptor... I've been using this great alternative browser interface for over a year now, even using their various beta versions the past few months.
Thing is, they announced a few months ago that the product was becoming shareware. After a month trial, you had to pay for it.
That's what killed Netscape's market share. Why pay for a browser when Internet Explorer's free? They changed their tune, but it was too late.
Now Netcaptor is cutting their throats. Oh well.

I heard some of the critics talk about The West Wing on TV tonight... I think they missed the point.
Some critics called it too preachy, said that it seemed like a civics class...
Uhm... excuse me? The story was of a politics class, and all the characters spoke to them? Did you critics miss that point?

I saw tonight's special episode of The West Wing (yes, they finally drew me in this summer!). The episode dealt with terrorism, and the multi-layered debate on it from all sides.
They used an accurate logic point about Islamic Fundamentalists, who are not to have other followers of Islam lumped in with them:
Islamic Fundamentalists are to Islam like the Klu Klux Klan to Christianity.
I can't think of a more accurate description of this splinter group.
