Hearing Nothing at the moment
Looks like I'm not the only thing that AOL is letting go of at the beginning of 2008: Netscape, the venerated Web browser, will no longer be supported as of next February. Which is kind of sad, really, if you're a net geek. I spent a lot of time using Netscape back in the day -- heck, I remember creating entire Web sites using the Netscape Web editor. I still have a copy of Netscape 4.6 (for my money the best iteration of Netscape) just in case I ever need to slap out a non-blog-related Web page.
That said, it's been years since I've used any Netscape browser; my browser of choice is the Mozilla Firefox browser -- ironically originally created from the Netscape browser source code after AOL spun it off. I've checked out each new iteration of Netscape when it came out, but after checking it out I mostly go back to Firefox. Still, I'm sad that Netscape is going away. It is indeed the end of an era on the Internet.

Huh -- I don't know what we use at home here ... I guess I don't need to!

Aww, phooey. I was still using Netscape Composer to do web pages until I got my current computer. I haven't been able to find anything to replace its simple (and free) functionality.

Yeah, Firefox has pretty much taken over the old Netscape crowd. I wonder how long it will be before some 18 year old (or someone from Firefox) programs a better browser and we all rush to use it. Gosh, I feel old.
Bye, bye Netscape!
Umm..you still have Netscape 4.6? Wow, you are a geek! -
Somehow I missed the posting on AOL letting you go...I looked in the archives...where is it?

I don't like to go off-campus, so AOL better hire someone tolerant and fun, like John/Joe/Jamie/etc,,,
So..when does AOL pull the plug on Journals?
I'd like to paste some of my stuff elsewhere before they yank the plug on it unannounced,a s we know they will do.
