    Default Good Bye Netscape....

    The world's first internet browser takes a bow....

    Some of you old timer may know, Mosaic was the first browser, and the development team behind it led its evolution into the commercial version...Netscape....

    And Netscape now says goodnight....

    I forgot NetScrape even existed.

    Anybody remember HotBot, or Excite?

    Yup, I use it as my backup when Firefox decides to get funky on me, I would use Safari more, the only thing stopping me is that to make a new tab you have to go into File, where as with firefox I have a button in the toolbar.


    Yes I'm that lazy.

    Firefox FTW! I'm glad that most of the Netscape crew moved over to Firefox.

    I remember the first time I connected to the Internet on netscape, I didn't know how it worked or any URLs, so I just sat there looking at the screen saying "now what?"

    After that found a PCMagazine with some links to search engines and found some 14.4k porno
