NetScape is wrecking havoc, that's for sure.

In accesses to our home page since this morning:

share total .com .edu .gov .org for. other browser

20.3% 224 76 78 8 1 48 13 NCSA Mosaic for the X Window System
13.3% 147 83 20 3 21 20 Mozilla
13.1% 145 28 57 2 9 48 1 Lynx
12.2% 135 27 22 3 2 38 43 NCSA Mosaic(tm) for Windows
8.9% 98 28 25 3 20 22 MacMosaic 2.0.0
8.6% 95 19 15 1 1 18 41 WinMosaic
6.7% 74 18 18 16 22 MacMosaicB6
4.6% 51 9 12 26 4
3.0% 33 3 13 1 8 8 MacWeb
1.5% 17 3 1 3 2 8 EI*Net
1.3% 15 15 NetCruiser
1.1% 13 6 2 5 AIR_Mosaic(16bit)

notes - "NCSA Mosaic (tm) for Windows" = WinMosaic, "MacMosaicB6" is any
pre-2.0 MacMosaic, and because of the way Mozilla does its user-agent
field I have to go change the algorithm to get breakdowns by platform.
I'll do that later when they account for a larger share of accesses....
