| Great comic. Goodbye Netscape, thank you for introducing me to the hell that is 56k.

| You know, when you think about it if it weren't for Netscape losing the battle to IE in the 90s, they wouldn't have opened up the source to their browser and we wouldn't have the choices in browsers that we have today. And much, much more improved than Netscape Communicator ever used to be.

| I haven't used Netscape in many years, but it's still a shame to see it go. Originally, I used Mosaic, but I later used Navigator/Communicator on both Macs and PCs. To many people at the time, it was almost like "Netscape" was the web! I do remember resenting the idea of having to buy web browsers, something which is relatively alien today. When Internet Explorer came along and was free, it gave Netscape a serious challenge. Netscape's products became free too, eventually. On the Mac, I played with iCab and IE, but tended to stick with Communicator. When I started using a PC at work more and more, I wanted to avoid IE and used Mozilla and Netscape 7. Eventually, I ended up using Firefox. Funny how Firefox has links to Mozilla, which in turn has links to Netscape...  |

| Netscape was always fussier about correct syntax than IE. The latter was more forgiving to aspiring web designers.
