Re: Farewell Netscape...
Yeah, for me it was the BBS, then in early '90s, NCSA Mosaic. Netscape took over then IE when Windows 95 came out. Netscape took forever to load vs. IE. Remember how people waited overnight for the release of Windows 95? Not quite the latest Vista launch, was it? |

| Until I got on the net in 1990/91, I'd never been "online", in the 80's there just wasn't much going on with the online world. I knew a couple of people who had modems, and our church (LDS) had computers linked to Salt Lake City, but using computers to communicate was still mostly the stuff of movies. |

| Actually I did quite a bit of Prodigy and Compuserve starting in the late 80's. The online social community on Prodigy was quite strong at the time. In some ways the online community then was better than anything now since it was a bit more concentrated. Also, you didn't have all the morons (for a lack of a better word) that you find on places like myspace.
Got Mosaic from the University in the Early 90's. I remember one of the big geek debates of those days was to keep graphics off of web pages. |
