R.I.P. Netscape

Netscape is internet history.

Too bad AOL wasted 9,8 mil to save it.

I just wish it had taken AOL down with it. I never could stand AOL. Even before they were AOL.

I'm just sad to hear that Firefox is wrapped up in that mess.

Firefox will be fine, it's strong enough to continue on its own!

It's Mozilla I'm worried about...

I hate AOL.

Their software is just too invasive. That, and when I worked at a computer store I had way too many customers come in thinking that "the internet" was AOL and that was the only way to access it. I gave up trying to explain it to them. In hind sight, I should have found Al Gore's phone number and gave them that.

^^^ Oddly enough, the higher the tone, the slower the rate. I still have 300 baud modems around here.....they had the highest tones.

Figure THAT one out!

If you have nostalgic feeling for Netscape, you could just get SeaMonkey.

I stopped using netscape the moment AOL flooded the stupid application with all sorts of usless features. Bloated and slowed down the system and made it far more confusing to use.

Cheers,
Hammock

Ya but atleast we watched windows become bloated from 3.1 to now. Netscape overnight went from a streamlined fast browser, to a slow bloated piece of crap.

We had time to adjust to windows' ever growing fatness. Netscape's change was over night.

You, my dear, have obviously never used any OS other than Windows. I could go into a rather long diatribe describing the early days of the computer revolution.......but I'm just not up to it at the moment.
If you feel like doing some investigating on your own, I suggest you look into the Amiga's OS.
