Think about it, Star Trek 5 sucks, Netscape 5 sucked so bad it was scrapped before it was even released, IE 5 was a scourge of the internet.. 5 just plain sucks. Unless it's Babylon 5. And so they skipped 5. Because IP is not Babylon. I like that explanation better, anyway. -- Think Outside the Fox.
