Its current caretakers, Time Warner Inc.'s AOL, decided to kill further development and technical support to focus on growing the company as an advertising business. Netscape's usage dwindled with Microsoft Corp.'s entry into the browser business, and Netscape all but faded away following the birth of its open-source cousin, Firefox. While internal groups within AOL have invested a great deal of time and energy in attempting to revive Netscape Navigator, these efforts have not been successful in gaining market share from Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Netscape Director Tom Drapeau wrote in a blog entry Friday. In recent years, Netscape has been little more than a repackaged version of the more popular Firefox, which commands about 10 percent of the Web browser market, with almost all of the rest going to Internet Explorer. People will still be able to download and use the Netscape browser indefinitely, but AOL will stop releasing security and other updates on Feb. 1. Drapeau recommended that the small pool of Netscape users download Firefox instead. A separate Netscape Web portal, which has had several incarnations in recent years, will continue to operate. The World Wide Web was but a few years old when in April 1993 a team at the University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Applications released Mosaic, the first Web browser to integrate images and sound with words.

Its current caretakers, Time Warner Inc.'s AOL, decided to kill further development and technical support to focus on growing the company as an advertising business. Netscape's usage dwindled with Microsoft Corp.'s entry into the browser business, and Netscape all but faded away following the birth of its open-source cousin, Firefox. While internal groups within AOL have invested a great deal of time and energy in attempting to revive Netscape Navigator, these efforts have not been successful in gaining market share from Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Netscape Director Tom Drapeau wrote in a blog entry Friday. In recent years, Netscape has been little more than a repackaged version of the more popular Firefox, which commands about 10 percent of the Web browser market, with almost all of the rest going to Internet Explorer. People will still be able to download and use the Netscape browser indefinitely, but AOL will stop releasing security and other updates on Feb. 1. Drapeau recommended that the small pool of Netscape users download Firefox instead. A separate Netscape Web portal, which has had several incarnations in recent years, will continue to operate. The World Wide Web was but a few years old when in April 1993 a team at the University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Applications released Mosaic, the first Web browser to integrate images and sound with words. Before Mosaic, access to the Internet and the Web was largely limited to text, with any graphics displayed in separate windows. Marc Andreessen and many of his university colleagues soon left to form a company tasked with commercializing the browser. The first version of Netscape came out in late 1994. Netscape fed the gold-rush atmosphere with a landmark initial public offering of stock in August 1995. Netscape's stock carried a then-steep IPO price of $28 per share, a price that doubled on opening day to give the startup a $2 billion market value even though it had only $20 million in sales. But Netscape's success also drew the attention of Microsoft, which quickly won market share by giving away

The real goal, though, is to build a Linux box. Actually a friend of mine is seriously thinking about switching to Linux instead of moving over to OS 10.5 because it's more geared to Intel Macs instead of normal PPC macs (like his). He hates the idea that he has to upgrade to a new type of mac that has little-to-no difference performance wise because of an OS change. And after looking at the stats of both of them I agree with him. In my opinion the new mac OS is nothing more than apple embracing the Windows OS at the cost of mac fans. As for Netscape Navigator. It was the first browser I used-and used it for a while before I settle upon Firefox and Safari so it will aways have a fond spot in my heart.

Keith, I wish that as many people took the time to note thiese glitches as you do. In two other groups I post in, I've had people asking for advice about comp problems. The minute they type in the word Vista, I know where their trouble comes from. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: they keep trying to sell all these extra features with each new OS: enhanced multimedia capabilities, better security, expanded Office Suites, etc. But all they do is add more junk that causes lockups, blue screen, adds more security holes, and adds more support headaches. Windows Millennium is a prime example. It was hailed as a multimedia OS, able to work with digital cameras, MP3 players, etc. it sucked and everyone hated it. XP was supposed to be the super secure, Internet/network friendly OS, with features like an improved Windows Firewall. But Firewall gets on my nerves (I always turn it off), and trust me: XP is a security nightmare. At my job, every month we have to make sure the entire network gets the latest Windows updates and security patches. The reason consumers should prefer things like Linux and Apple is that they work more seamlessly. Unless you really want to fiddle with your computer all the time, you need an OS that's more stable. cut some of the overblown features in favor of stability. along those lines Vista's not a hit. It's had lots of problems and bugs, requiring users to seek support and download patches. It's also different enough in basic structure and functionality to provide a significant learning curve. Two weekends ago i was helping a friend's father setup his Vista PC. Even basic things such as figuring out how to modify the Startup folder, searching for All Users, etc., was a headache because of the changes to the file and directory structure. Microsoft then put about several different versions for home, school, business, etc., which muddies the waters. -- Original message -- From: Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.

Its current caretakers, Time Warner Inc.'s AOL, decided to kill further development and technical support to focus on growing the company as an advertising business. Netscape's usage dwindled with Microsoft Corp.'s entry into the browser business, and Netscape all but faded away following the birth of its open-source cousin, Firefox. While internal groups within AOL have invested a great deal of time and energy in attempting to revive Netscape Navigator, these efforts have not been successful in gaining market share from Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Netscape Director Tom Drapeau wrote in a blog entry Friday. In recent years, Netscape has been little more than a repackaged version of the more popular Firefox, which commands about 10 percent of the Web browser market, with almost all of the rest going to Internet Explorer. People will still be able to download and use the Netscape browser indefinitely, but AOL will stop releasing security and other updates on Feb. 1. Drapeau recommended that the small pool of Netscape users download Firefox instead. A separate Netscape Web portal, which has had several incarnations in recent years, will continue to operate.

Before Mosaic, access to the Internet and the Web was largely limited to text, with any graphics displayed in separate windows. Marc Andreessen and many of his university colleagues soon left to form a company tasked with commercializing the browser. The first version of Netscape came out in late 1994. Netscape fed the gold-rush atmosphere with a landmark initial public offering of stock in August 1995. Netscape's stock carried a then-steep IPO price of $28 per share, a price that doubled on opening day to give the startup a $2 billion market value even though it had only $20 million in sales. But Netscape's success also drew the attention of Microsoft, which quickly won market share by giving away its Internet Explorer browser for free with its flagship Windows operating system. The bundling prompted a Justice Department antitrust lawsuit and later a settlement with Microsoft. Netscape eventually dropped fees for the software, but it was too late. Undone by IE, Netscape sold itself to AOL in a $10 billion deal completed in early 1999. Netscape spawned an open-source project called Mozilla, in which

Re: [scifinoir2] Plug Pulled on Netscape Navigator
i hear you. i don't own a Vista computer, but i try to keep up with new trends in IT so i know what to expect. There's enough differences in its structure to make working with it a chore. -- Original message -- From: Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keith, I wish that as many people took the time to note thiese glitches as you do. In two other groups I post in, I've had people asking for advice about comp problems. The minute they type in the word Vista, I know where their trouble comes from. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: they keep trying to sell all these extra features with each new OS: enhanced multimedia capabilities, better security, expanded Office Suites, etc. But all they do is add more junk that causes lockups, blue screen, adds more security holes, and adds more support headaches. Windows Millennium is a prime example. It was hailed as a multimedia OS, able to work with digital cameras, MP3 players, etc. it sucked and everyone hated it. XP was supposed to be the super secure, Internet/network friendly OS, with features like an improved Windows Firewall. But Firewall gets on my nerves (I always turn it off), and trust me: XP is a security nightmare. At my job, every month we have to make sure the entire network gets the latest Windows updates and security patches. The reason consumers should prefer things like Linux and Apple is that they work more seamlessly. Unless you really want to fiddle with your computer all the time, you need an OS that's more stable. cut some of the overblown features in favor of stability. along those lines Vista's not a hit. It's had lots of problems and bugs, requiring users to seek support and download patches. It's also different enough in basic structure and functionality to provide a significant learning curve. Two weekends ago i was helping a friend's father setup his Vista PC. Even basic things such as figuring out how to modify the Startup folder, searching for All Users, etc., was a headache because of the changes to the file and directory structure. Microsoft then put about several different versions for home, school, business, etc., which muddies the waters. -- Original message -- From: Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.

And after looking at the stats of both of them I agree with him. In my opinion the new mac OS is nothing more than apple embracing the Windows OS at the cost of mac fans. As for Netscape Navigator. It was the first browser I used-and used it for a while before I settle upon Firefox and Safari so it will aways have a fond spot in my heart. But yeah AOL did killed it and Firefox has surpassed it so to let it die a peaceful death. -GTW ** See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food. http://food. http://food. http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop000304 aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop000304 aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop000304 aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop000304) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Akin, but no matter what you think, I am concerned for your life, so I'll only say this once; if you talk too much or ask too many questions, you might say something that interests the Community, and you really, really don't want to get them interested. - The Side Street Chonicles by C.W.

Its current caretakers, Time Warner Inc.'s AOL, decided to kill further development and technical support to focus on growing the company as an advertising business. Netscape's usage dwindled with Microsoft Corp.'s entry into the browser business, and Netscape all but faded away following the birth of its open-source cousin, Firefox. While internal groups within AOL have invested a great deal of time and energy in attempting to revive Netscape Navigator, these efforts have not been successful in gaining market share from Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Netscape Director Tom Drapeau wrote in a blog entry Friday. In recent years, Netscape has been little more than a repackaged version of the more popular Firefox, which commands about 10 percent of the Web browser market, with almost all of the rest going to Internet Explorer. People will still be able to download and use the Netscape browser indefinitely, but AOL will stop releasing security and other updates on Feb. 1. Drapeau recommended that the small pool of Netscape users download Firefox instead. A separate Netscape Web portal, which has had several incarnations in recent years, will continue to operate. The World Wide Web was but a few years old when in April 1993 a team at the University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Applications released Mosaic, the first Web browser to integrate images and sound with words. Before Mosaic, access to the Internet and the Web was largely limited to text, with any graphics displayed in separate windows. Marc Andreessen and many of his university colleagues soon left to form a company tasked with commercializing the browser. The first version of Netscape came out in late 1994. Netscape fed the gold-rush atmosphere with a landmark initial public offering of stock in August 1995. Netscape's stock carried a then-steep IPO price of $28 per share, a price that doubled on opening day to give the startup a $2 billion market value even though it had only $20 million in sales. But Netscape's success also drew the attention of Microsoft, which quickly won market share by giving away its Internet Explorer browser for free with its flagship Windows operating system. The bundling prompted a Justice Department antitrust lawsuit and later a settlement with Microsoft. Netscape eventually dropped fees for the software, but it was too late. Undone by IE, Netscape sold itself to AOL in a $10 billion deal completed in early 1999.

RE: [scifinoir2] Plug Pulled on Netscape Navigator
This makes me very angry. My first foray into the Net was with AOL, which I loved for a while. Once I tired of it, I got MindSpring, an Atlanta-based company which later merged with Earthlink. Mindspring's browser of choice was Netscape Navigator. I loved everything about Netscape: the way you could easily copy/paste its list of saved URLs to another computer...the way you could do the same with its Address book...the interface that let you quickly see what plugins the browser had and what function they fulfilled...and especially, a little feature (whose name escapes me) that allowed you to put the same URL in several different folders without having to do a copy/paste. This was a great device for me, as some links fit in more than one category. Black Ameria Web, for example, goes in both my Black Culture and Audio Sites folders. Best of all, Netscape was powerful, easy to use, well laid out, and not a major drain on computer resources. Then Bill Gates decided to give away Internet Explorer for free. I can't stand people who can't compete fairly, and this was a major example of Gates just cheating far as i'm concerned. Worse, like so many of microsoft's moves, Gates actually pushed *inferiour* software on is in the form of IE. Most of Microsoft's major products and functionality over the years have been inferiour to the competition, but money, power, dirty tactics, and market penetrability have won the day. AOL destroyed Netscape, however, and i quit using it after that. I don't use Firefox for the simple reason that my main computer is a company laptop and i don't want anyone geting on me about it. I will use Firefox on the next home machine I build. Saddest of all is that Netscape's demise will be largely unheralded and unremarked. Most people the world around will not remember there was a better alternative to IE, won't remember yet another example of how Gates squashed creativity and innovation for greed, and won't realize just how free our choices are in this world.

Its current caretakers, Time Warner Inc.'s AOL, decided to kill further development and technical support to focus on growing the company as an advertising business. Netscape's usage dwindled with Microsoft Corp.'s entry into the browser business, and Netscape all but faded away following the birth of its open-source cousin, Firefox. While internal groups within AOL have invested a great deal of time and energy in attempting to revive Netscape Navigator, these efforts have not been successful in gaining market share from Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Netscape Director Tom Drapeau wrote in a blog entry Friday. In recent years, Netscape has been little more than a repackaged version of the more popular Firefox, which commands about 10 percent of the Web browser market, with almost all of the rest going to Internet Explorer. People will still be able to download and use the Netscape browser indefinitely, but AOL will stop releasing security and other updates on Feb. 1. Drapeau recommended that the small pool of Netscape users download Firefox instead. A separate Netscape Web portal, which has had several incarnations in recent years, will continue to operate. The World Wide Web was but a few years old when in April 1993 a team at the University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Applications released Mosaic, the first Web browser to integrate images and sound with words. Before Mosaic, access to the Internet and the Web was largely limited to text, with any graphics displayed in separate windows. Marc Andreessen and many of his university colleagues soon left to form a company tasked with commercializing the browser. The first version of Netscape came out in late 1994. Netscape fed the gold-rush atmosphere with a landmark initial public offering of stock in August 1995. Netscape's stock carried a then-steep IPO price of $28 per share, a price that doubled on opening day to give the startup a $2 billion market value even though it had only $20 million in sales. But Netscape's success also drew the attention of Microsoft, which quickly won market share by giving away its Internet Explorer browser for free with its flagship Windows operating system. The bundling prompted a Justice Department antitrust lawsuit and later a settlement with Microsoft. Netscape eventually dropped fees for the software, but it was too late. Undone by IE, Netscape sold itself to AOL in a $10 billion deal completed in early 1999. Netscape spawned an open-source project called Mozilla, in which developers from around the world freely contribute to writing and testing the software. Mozilla released its standalone browser, Firefox, and Netscape was never able to regain its former footing. Copyright 2007 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may

RE: [scifinoir2] Plug Pulled on Netscape Navigator
Actually, I was a UNIX guy back in the late '70s - early 80s when I was with ATT Informations Systems in Bala Cynwyd, PA. (Tracey knows where that is!). We had a room full of IBM-PC/ATs, and what ATT called their 3B2 computers. I remember the beginning of email, and 2-letter commands. UNIX Shell, and how UNIX morphed into LINUX. I did a lot of programming in C-Language and some Assembler language on PCs. Never had a MAC except at McDonalds! So I still feel a little loyalty to the might IBM and Microsoft. HOO-Rah!

While internal groups within AOL have invested a great deal of time and energy in attempting to revive Netscape Navigator, these efforts have not been successful in gaining market share from Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Netscape Director Tom Drapeau wrote in a blog entry Friday. In recent years, Netscape has been little more than a repackaged version of the more popular Firefox, which commands about 10 percent of the Web browser market, with almost all of the rest going to Internet Explorer. People will still be able to download and use the Netscape browser indefinitely, but AOL will stop releasing security and other updates on Feb. 1. Drapeau recommended that the small pool of Netscape users download Firefox instead. A separate Netscape Web portal, which has had several incarnations in recent years, will continue to operate. The World Wide Web was but a few years old when in April 1993 a team at the University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Applications released Mosaic, the first Web browser to integrate images and sound with words. Before Mosaic, access to the Internet and the Web was largely limited to text, with any graphics displayed in separate windows. Marc Andreessen and many of his university colleagues soon left to form a company tasked with commercializing the browser. The first version of Netscape came out in late 1994. Netscape fed the gold-rush atmosphere with a landmark initial public offering of stock in August 1995. Netscape's stock carried a then-steep IPO price of $28 per share, a price that doubled on opening day to give the startup a $2 billion market value even though it had only $20 million in sales. But Netscape's success also drew the attention of Microsoft, which quickly won market share by giving away its Internet Explorer browser for free with its flagship Windows operating system. The bundling prompted a Justice Department antitrust lawsuit and later a settlement with Microsoft. Netscape eventually dropped fees for the software, but it was too late. Undone by IE, Netscape sold itself to AOL in a $10 billion deal completed in early 1999. Netscape spawned an open-source project called Mozilla, in which developers from around the world freely contribute to writing and testing the software. Mozilla released its standalone browser, Firefox, and Netscape was never able to regain its former footing. Copyright 2007

My goal for this winter is to build two computers. One i will keep as a Windows machine simply for ease of storing existing files. Probably keep it as XP, 'casue i don't care for Vista. The real goal, though, is to build a Linux box. Actually a friend of mine is seriously thinking about switching to Linux instead of moving over to OS 10.5 because it's more geared to Intel Macs instead of normal PPC macs (like his). He hates the idea that he has to upgrade to a new type of mac that has little-to-no difference performance wise because of an OS change. And after looking at the stats of both of them I agree with him. In my opinion the new mac OS is nothing more than apple embracing the Windows OS at the cost of mac fans. As for Netscape Navigator. It was the first browser I used-and used it for a while before I settle upon Firefox and Safari so it will aways have a fond spot in my heart. But yeah AOL did killed it and Firefox has surpassed it so to let it die a peaceful death. -GTW ** See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop000304) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
