good-bye netscape, and thank you

In a week’s time, AOL will stop supporting netscape. I remember fondly my first browser experience with Netscape 3, then Communicator. There was also the long period when I was still using OS9 and firefox wasn’t available — I’d stuck with Netscape 7 then.

There’s a lot of nostalgia to what was an excellent product in its day. That it fizzled out after being swallowed by AOL, and the advancement of Firefox is a shame.

I tried to get a screenshot using the pb1 but I couldn’t get connected. Must be something wrong with the TCP/IP settings, which I didn’t have patience to figure out. Like many people I’ve stopped thinking about Netscape a long time ago, perhaps it is time to put it in the museum.
