• Well, I have kids so I feel old every single bloody day so I'm not gonna shed a tear for NN. I wouldn't be sorry to see IE go either. Safari and Firefox are just fine, thanks.
• good riddance, I don't need that piece of crap to feel old!
• i guess it's a first lover kind of thing for me, it's the first browser i designed for/in...
• Many things become obsolete.
• At the time, mid 1990s, it made me, with no internet experience, cool. It does make me sad that it lost its place and became part of AOL. I wonder what would have happened if it had been able to continue to invent good stuff. Would it maybe have been an early Google? I can only hope that the innovators got their deserved cash-outs, because it really was something lovely for the time. And you kids have to stay off my lawn.
• Oh cheesy honey it's because you *are* old!
• Sometimes awesome things suck as they get older. Just look at what happened to Plegmund.
• No, no! Plegmund gets more awesome day by day, but his wife and children aren't AOL, so they keep him moving forward. You, MCT, on the other hand, have a lot of work to to until you start listening to hillbillyswamp, not to mention waiting for Jack to get old enough to clue you in. It'll be several years till you're cool again. But, don't be upset. This is just one of those passages...
• NN? Meh. Get rid of IE? LET'S PAR-TAY!
• *cries*
• i would so do the watusi in a g-string on IE's grave.
• i would so video that and put it on youtube.
• ..the more popular Firefox, which commands about 10 percent of the Web browser market, with almost all of the rest going to Internet Explorer. Actually, the numbers as of earlier this year were more like 20% and 80%, give or take a few Safari users.
• Geez, I thought NN died years ago. Like sometime between 1999 and 2003. I would not dance on IE's grave; I use both it and Firefox, though I prefer the latter. The introduction of tabbed browsing made IE less painful to use. The only thing about IE that I really like better is how it handles bookmarks... yeah, Firefox generates an HTML file of them, OK, but I can't organize them like files, in a folder, independent of the browser, which is one thing I think IE does right. (Or maybe I just ought to take more care to put them in the correct folder to begin with. I also use del.icio.us, but I don't like to put everything there that I bookmark, and I don't like to have to tag everything either! meh.) Right now I mostly use IE because my work's software runs better in it for me.
• I would say Netscape actually was an early version of Google.
• Hmmmm, verbminx, I mostly like the bookmarking in the Fox. I generally tend to save pretty haphazardly, but the 'organize bookmarks' function is my friend.
• Mnh... wha? *falls asleep again*
