  really?  whow.  that's impressive.  change banks.  (yes, I know
  people who have done this because said bank wasn't usable under
  *nix)

  anyhow, I think Dees point here is simple "emerge netscape" would
  get netscape6, and you'd have to do "emerge <=netscape5" or so to
  get netscape-pre-6.  and honestly, I think this is a good idea.
