In other news: AOL was still maintaining the Netscape Browser

Whodathunkit? I had no idea that software was even still used, let alone actively developed. I guess I don't get out much...

maybe you get out too much. this kind of stuff you can only pick up by staying in, spending a quiet evening at home with the missus.

AOL to stop rebranding watered-down Mozilla releases as "Netscape".

Netscape is a horrific interface monstrosity that is an insult to computer software.

It's about time. Good riddance.

to their credit, they did allow the creation of mozilla... (or did that happen before the buyout?)
