Thanks!  I just downloaded it, but since it comes with this warning:

"Warning! This is a testing-only version of SeaMonkey!"

- I'll wait to try it out until I've got some time to put it in a test 
box.  I can't say I'm enthusiastic about the name.  It's been bad enough 
trying to get (non-computer) people interested in Mozilla "Mozilla?! - 
What's that?", I don't think I have the courage to suggest to someone 
that they use "SeaMonkey"!  Personally, the name isn't important to me, 
but I have to wonder if the same decision-making process that came up 
with "SeaMonkey" will be at work within the software!  Shudder!
