<Plays Taps>

Oh, those were the days, heedlessly swinging across the webs, cruising from page to page, checking out sites just because you could...

And, of course, the browser of choice was... Netscape! (Because the alternative was just evil.) Ah yes, from Lynx (which I still use in one of my telnet accounts) to the burst of graphics was a leap not all were ready for, but we made that leap, and damn the consequences! (And hideous page loading times...)

But no more. For Netscape is dead. To be fair, it did die pretty much when Firefox came upon the scene, but now the final notes have played, the flag has been taken down, and the coffin has been sent to the great 404 in the intertubes.

So long, good buddy! You fought Microsoft so well...

(Thanks to Peter A for the heads up.)
