625598 2007-12-29 04:08:00 I know a lot of people didn't like it, but it was my browser of choice when version 6 came out and I thought version 6 was the bees knees, especially when compared to IE 6 , and although I have moved on to firefox, I do wish AOL hadn't stopped proper development of netscape all those years ago Morgenmuffel (187)
625599 2007-12-29 08:51:00 Loved Netscape for years. Don't miss it though now I'm using Mozilla - it's much the same. Greg (193)

Very weird company.

625601 2007-12-29 11:03:00 Netscape was the first browser that i used so it will always have a special place in my heart. noone (22)
625602 2007-12-29 13:04:00 Yea same I used it when i was like 9 years old .I loved netscape and was really excited when 6 came out but it took a very long time to start up and i remember it took 30 seconds just to start the program on my old k6 200mhz machine and it had memory leak issues at first

Now I use Opera

Its sad to see it died.Someone give me a tissue:(

At least... it lives on as firefox and netscape are related in a small way

625603 2007-12-29 19:30:00 Well, IE has died pretty frequently, but it hasn't been buried yet. It might be unwise to say it lives, it just festers along routinely spreading infection ;)

(Don't bother to try converting me, I won't like IE while I still have power of movement.)

Yea, i remember when six came out it took like a mintue for the splash screen to come up...

I will never forget its loading screen - the N and the comet.
