I'm apparently one of the few people in the world affected by this since.

Just get Firefox.

But let's give the former number one web browser a proper funeral

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

Just get Firefox.

Actually on DW's suggestion I'm using Camino. Firefox for Macs. Netscape deserves a special place in internet/browser history. For many including myself it was our first browser.

[Wet_Boots]

I still have NS 4.7 on this Windows 98 antique. Haven't used it in ages. And, yes, it was a faster browser than Internet Explorer.

If your using FireFox, you are in a way using Netscape since they are both Mozilla based.

If your interested in the next "netscape", then check out SeaMonkey (http://www.seamonkey-project.org/)

Nice interview with the newspaper there Fim-Meister.

I've nothing against it, just looked easy to hack on for a while.

I suspect a severe lack of garmentage.

Thanks guys I knew I could count on you to get me through this difficult time.:cry:



I can't believe I missed your pic Hosk. Was it a goodie?

At the time of when it mattered, Internet Explorer 4.0 was actually the better browser. It is definitely not that way now, though I have high hopes that the competition from Firefox and Safari will cause Microsoft to really work hard at IE8. They have the ability to make a truly great product, they have done it before.

My first browser was actually NCSA's Mosaic. The great granddaddy of all browsers.

Netscape is still alive though.

They have a building off of 237 in Mt. View.

BIG building with word NETSCAPE in bold letters.

Go by the building and you see the "for lease"sign.

To bad AOL\TIME WARNER got a hold of it. Just like Toro, buy something that you can't compete against and then destroy it.

However, Netscape died when AOL chose IE4 over Netscape browser.

yea if you want a company to run down or possibly bankrupt them, give toro a caall, they have all the answers!
