Just read at Wired that AOL has announced the end of life for Netscape.
Personally, I thought that Netscape had gone away years ago. I certainly knew of it in its heyday though. In fact, I remember when my family paid something like $30 for Netscape Navigator 4.6 Communications Suite.
Remember those days? When we actually paid for web browsers. Oh, there are still some browsers out there that cost money (although OmniWeb is the only one that I can think of, now that Opera has gone free).
Personally, Netscape 3 was my favorite. Back then it was competing against the miserably unstable Internet Explorer 2. And it was free. But then came Communicator Suite, and suddenly Netscape cost money and was loaded with extra features that did little more than slow everything down.
Of course, I cannot say anything about Netscape without mentioning that it formed the basis of the Mozilla Project which, among other things, spawned the Firefox web browser.
