Netscape memories like the corner of my hard drive

The king is dead, long live the king, yes Netscape is dead, the browser (wiki link) has been booted out of existence by Internet explorer and torn to shreds’ by Microsoft. It has officially been shelved.

But I will remember you, Netscape, the friendly browser. I remember being at university in 1998 and all the PCs had Netscape and not ie. I remember using ‘composer’ to create my first web page. Now things have moved on for us web designers, Dreamweaver, Ajax, flash etc.

Using Netscape to search in search engines, long before Google really took off, when the results for anything where generally limited to 10 or 20 returns. No web 2.0, I would not even say it was web 1.0.

We miss you Netscape.. But would I trade my Firefox in for you…. Hummm.. May be not… Would you?
