We provide many options in many product areas that they seem to want to adopt, and that's working well for us.

In my column series "The Main Thing," I often talk about how Internet technology can improve the way people communicate - both within a business and between a business and its customers and partners.

We're no longer a small business; we're a large organization spread around the world. I can't imagine Netscape growing as fast as it has if it weren't for the way we use our products.

We also provide a lot of services with our consulting group that allow people to take maximum advantage of the Net economy. Those all seem to resonate with customers and are providing a good strong base going forward.

It's the first time I've ever done anything like that. It took longer than I expected. I've gotten a lot of E-mail since I got back, saying they thought I did a good job and presented the case well.

I can't deny that some customers and prospects think it's the key to our future. But it's not. We're certainly supportive of the Dept. of Justice and the 20 states that have brought this action.

I think they should separate Microsoft's application group from its operating system group.

The ability of our people to think quickly and create great products in this whole new world of Internet open standards is not only essential to our success but is also one of the things that impresses me most about Netscape.

That's the ultimate gratification in any business situation - do customers buy the product? And do they use it and do they come back and buy more of it?

Well, the sales of our products clearly demonstrate their value to businesses and to individuals.

After all, it's the future of business communication that we're looking toward.

Our people are excited about building solutions, and it's rewarding to see how much fun Netscape employees have doing something they think is relevant and important.

I don't believe in government regulation of the software industry.

I think we're proving ourselves as we go along. The past several months our strategy has been evolutionary - making maximum advantage of our client browser, as well as our enterprise software for people who want to build Web sites.

I've tended to work at fast-growing companies that improve the way business gets done.

There are no pat answers - we're pushing through some new frontiers, and lessons of the past don't always apply.

We're building a great company, and we're very excited about the future of the company.

I was telling the truth. I feel like we got that point across.

One problem was that my direct testimony was in writing, so a lot of people didn't get to see it. I hope they see it, because I think it built a very strong case.

I want my testimony to stand on that point. But I would point out that Zona Research Inc. showed we have increased market share among business users, educational users, and government users over the past several months - and that's more recent than the IDC report.

One of Netscape's main attractions to customers from Day One is that we provide alternatives. And that's cherished by many customers - certainly not all.

We can provide beta software to our developers in advance of the general public. We can easily link up with external partners, customers, and suppliers.

We can collaborate with a Netscape employee or partner who's halfway around the world. We can distribute information and software to customers and shareholders, and get their feedback.

I think the touchstone is to give consumers a full, fair choice without the power of a monopoly operating system pushing them in a direction that free competition might or might not achieve.

We provide many options in many product areas that they seem to want to adopt, and that's working well for us.

We've tapped into a huge demand, and it's up to us to fulfill that demand and to be creative doing it.

Well, another market is being created now out of Internet technology.

Of course, nothing happens until somebody sells something.

Take our own company as an example: We're living proof, we jump with our own parachutes.

Where we can compete on merit, we do very well.

In my column series 'The Main Thing', I often talk about how Internet technology can improve the way people communicate - both within a business and between a business and its customers and partners.

In addressing a task, one almost always has several possible options, sometimes only a few, and they may all be practical and functional. But they lack the aesthetic aspect that raises it to architecture.

Really, what are the options? Levi's or Wranglers. And you just pick one. It's one of those life choices.

While the political debate over abortion will continue for a very long time, the federal government can and should be doing more to support programs and services that provide women with better options.

Preserve the President's options. He may need them.

There's not a single business model, and there's not a single type of electronic content. There are really a lot of opportunities and a lot of options and we just have to discover all of them.

It is vital that we communicate to seniors their options regarding prescription drug assistance.

One of our key strategies has been to restructure traditional high schools into small learning communities with personalized attention and a range of options.

As mayor of San Francisco, I will provide the vision and work hard to make San Francisco a beautiful, well-planned city with excellent housing and transportation options.

The attempt to redefine the family as a purely voluntary arrangement grows out of the modern delusion that people can keep all their options open all the time.

The holidays are also a time when people freak out about their finances. If you don't want to spend the money, why not try some of the other options instead of killing a bunch of animals?

Right now the focus is the album that is released and then the tour coming up. After the tour they will let us know about the options and offers that came in for us.

Providing patients and consumers with solid information on the cost and quality of their healthcare options can literally make the difference between life or death; and play a decisive role in whether a family or employer can afford healthcare.

Money is only a vehicle that provides you with options, and I say there's only one thing that money can't buy - poverty.

There are other options out there, after all, like read a book, go on the Internet, rent a movie.

We are a coalition government, and that limits our options in some ways. Privatization happens to be one such area.

My research interests since then have shifted strongly towards the economic and regulatory problems of the financial services industry, and especially of the securities and options exchanges.

With my time in the limelight, I regret that I didn't use it more to push vegetarianism. I support vegetarian options in the school lunch program.

I was the first spokesperson for the Better Hearing Institute in Washington. And that's the message we tried to send out - there is hearing help out there, and the technology and options are amazing.
