I was operating on the line that states the following about Lynx
"Beta availability was announced to Usenet
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet> on 22 July 1992"
So while yes 1/2 year ahead, a beta isn't really a 'release'
particularly when considering the following about Mosaic
"Mosaic was developed at the in late 1992. NCSA released the browser in
1993"
A bit of a tomato, tomata situation I guess.

The 0.x Mosaic versions were alphas and betas. Lynx predates mosaic by
1/2 a year in terms of development and final stable release but for
the sake of historical accuracy, Lynx still wins. There are some older
ones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_web_browser) but
most recognize Lynx as being the grandaddy of what eventually morphed
into the modern browser. Meaning, away from *strictly* Unixland to
Windows (and is still around).
I meant as far as being a part of Netscape/Mozilla history/beginning.
Even still at best it was a tie

I understand where you coming from with that, however even on the

Firefox and

It doesn't say, firefox uses seamonkey code to power its
browser. Sync
is another good example of this. "Starting with Firefox 29
(SeaMonkey
2.26), it is not possible anymore to set up legacy Sync
accounts as
described below. The new Sync back-end, which uses Firefox
Accounts, is
not supported by SeaMonkey yet."
At one time your statement was true, now it's a bit of a moot
point that
isn't quite completely correct any longer.

Firefox is SeaMonkey based not the other way around.
In the beginning, there was Netscape. ;-)
Sure about that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_%28web_browser%29

Lord, will you guys PLEASE figure out if you're gonna top-post or
bottom-post? The convention in these groups is to either inter-sperse
or bottom-post. You're making me crazy.
My mistake, I'm used to the opposite, but the adjustment to stick with
the convention of the list will not be a problem.
Very grateful, and thanks!!!

and forks so I wonder what Chinese mothers use. Toothpicks?
