We used it because our catalog is still a mainframe one and Netscape was 
far easier to setup to use tn3270 -- in fact I never have figured out how 
to do it with IE. When it had to be paid for, we didn't upgrade our 
versions. We had such slow and awful computers at the time that any 
upgrade would have been too much for them.
