First Look: Netscape’s New Browser. Too Little, Too Late?

In the early days of the public (not academic) Internet, I had the pleasure of watching NCSA Mosaic load a web page and some graphics (slowly) on my Mac. Ecstasy. What a cool way to communicate. It was just week’s later that “Mozilla” became Netscape, Netscape became and company, and browsing on a computer changed forever.

Today, Netscape (now a part of AOL) released version 7.2. It’s a free download, so you’ll get at least what you pay for.

Is Netscape worth the ride? Or, is it like Napster; the glory days are long.... (excerpted).
