Peter: So what exactly is it great about this operating system of yours? Jason: I'm glad you asked. Observe how smoothly JasonDowns 98 handles something like the installation of a competitor's web browser... Computer: Netscape detected. (Beep) netscape deleted. Peter: I meant great for the user. Jason: Oh. Well, let me think about that. Computer: Please press "enter" key to apologize.

Wow, it automatically deleates existing programs, all without the-blue-screen-of-death!

This is sounding less like an O.S. and more like a virus!

Our bodies should have such an effective immune system.

Windows, virus. What’s the difference?
Jeobald over 15 years ago
@RussellNash: My reaction too… Behaves in very much the same way; the big difference is that you usually have to buy windows, viruses are free…

Netscape sucked big time, anyway.

Hope you Netscape haters aren’t using Firefox then :)

Netscape was on all the computers when i was in HS, though there were a few that had the option of Internet Explorer too. Three guesses which ones I tried to use.

I loved early Netscape - it was way better than early Explorer.

NCSA Mosaic (the first truly usable GUI based browser) -> Netscape -> Firefox
Amazing that MS was so far behind the game (and still is).

Internet Explorer was based off of Mosaic, same as Netscape.

Agreed@myhaircut.
Early Netscape was WAY better than Explorer. I’m glad they’re Firefox now - it ROCKS!

I never open IE except for sites that require it - you know, the ones written using uSoft’s web “standard” instead of ISOC’s!

Netscape is still around - except it’s a program called “seamonkey”
