How about Mosaic?

Apparently you got your dial-up Internet connection after the Mosaic era, which certainly deserve at least a mention in your article.

It didn't support any fancy HTML trickery, neither any kind of scripts, plug-ins, style sheets and barely supported tables. But, despite lacking disk caching, it was damn fast. HTML was always all about formatted text and some images, the rest is bloat.

Then Netscape helped to turn obsolete our then-state-of-art 56K modems. And worse, it allowed the still-sluggish java applets inside pages, so I kind of enjoyed its painful and slow death.

And stay dead.

Mozilla should buy the Netscape name back

It would make more sense than "Firefox".

Ziffed Davis?

Well glad to see you're up and coming, now, mate.
Not to mention, browser-cum-portals (that's a Potter thingie, right?).
That Vole bumbled IE, will likely get Microsoft a stiff comeuppance from the European Comeuppance-mission.
And still yet the sauciness of that cheeky vole, to spite it all, is now about making the Vista more "green."
Green Software--Hello world, is there an ECO in ear?

Vista is already bios-degradable!

So, the European Commiserate has receipts and license for its Netscrape Navigator and Complicator for the Far Side of the World?

And enCarte Blanche over the rest of OS privateers, as well, I presume.

Well finally at least there is a L’Académie Française for OS packages with the teeth to nip OS in the OS, bud.

Pity. Corn is now more than a buccaneer.

AST adds: Anyone have a clue what he's on about?
