Don't worry, I use Netscape myself and most of the work I do for commercial
clients requires that I test my code for both browsers.  Also, you are
probably thinking of Java, not JavaScript.  I don't use Java; that is a
whole different animal and I agree that it causes many folks' computers to
go haywire unless they have a ton of resources.  My approach is to be as
minimalist as possible - I know there are lots of folks using old computers,
slow modems, library resource time, etc.
