Mozilla the .ORG might be 15 but the Mozilla the Killer App is more like
20!
I remember at the 2nd international WWW conference in Chicago, Netscape
announcing themselves and using "Mozilla, the Killer App" as their
non-sequitorial mascot. Since when is a dinosaur an ape? They jumbled
King Kong and Godzilla and the idea of a Killer App and got Mozilla!
For your anecdotal interest, I saw my first off-broadway show during
that conference... the Rock Opera Tommy. It *really* stood out in high
contrast after spending our days huddled around 1k resolution screens
ooing and aahhhing over postage-stamp sized pixelated videos streaming
on a web page. We were *so* impressed with ourselves... but Tommy! blew
me away!
Moz is 15! Just contributed:
Hi! I just donated to Mozilla and got a limited-edition, 15th
Anniversary plush red dino -- available only to supporters. Join me in
wishing Mozilla a happy birthday and get yours before they're gone

A snuggly dino!
