What do you mean by "the latest verion of Navigator"? If you meant the
preview of Communicator, you asked for it. It is not a released version.
At least, Netscape told you that it is a beta version. Not like some of 
the companies put their beta test as released version. 

Yeah, reject as you want. Whom to choose from then?  Lynx?
