Me and the Internet go way back, at least to 1995, and probably before. I can't exactly remember. What I do recall though is that the browser I used to surf the net via my 1200 baud modem (or whatever speed it was) was Netscape Navigator. That's why I'm a bit sad to learn that AOL is about to kill the browser once and for all.
On Saturday, March 1st, AOL will pull the plug on any support related to Netscape. It's already dead for all intents and purposes. What happens March 1st will be the final nail in the coffin.
Despite this move, considering Firefox and Flock are built on the same codebase as the original, Netscape does live on in a sense.
So, why don't we all take a moment to fondly remember the old browser. Rest in peace Netscape. I knew thee well.
Just for grins, I downloaded Netscape 9. Though I have no plans to actually use it, I thought once more just for old time sake wouldn't hurt.
