for the cyber-sentimental :D

you can still download the original Mosaic web browser from ncsa at:

ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Mosaic/Windows/Archive/

I think win95 edition of Mosaic in 1997 was the last release.

 

It doesn't run on 64-bit Windows . Guess I'll have to try it on 32-bit Windows.

 

Yep, I found that out....does anyone remember Cello? It was before Mosaic slightly, but never quite got the bugs completely worked out of it...

 

Thank you for sharing!

I will have to check this out later on this weekend!

Nope, on Cello!

Pretty neat! Nice find. I still remember using the mosaic browser way, way back when.

 

Yeah, I guess this starts a new trend...collecting 'antique' software!

 

That's the browser!

Reminds me..

You can find almost every old version of Netscape here:
http://browser.netscape.com/releases

They used to have 3.x but not anymore, there's another site for that:
http://sillydog.org/narchive/full123.php

I keep the installers on one of my disks, they come in handy for checking website compatibility on old OSs (a surprising number of people use terribly outdated software). I have a few VM images of each release of windows and various generations of browsers.

Edit: Also. Firefox users type about:mozilla in the location bar.

I forget which version it was but my favorite was "...and the text shall blink until the end of days..."

Good times.

 

That is a very good idea!

BTW, does that mean I can now call my copy of XP an antique, instead of what it usually gets called?

 

Anyone got a copy of Win 3.1? I miss those program 'faults' that would bring down the entire system....LOL
btw, I'm putting Mosaic on my XP machine.... I can't find Cello, but that's probably a good thing

 

Lol I've got a copy of Windows 3.1 ..somewhere, as well as MS Office Professional from 1994 on 31 floppy disks...

 

Thank you for sharing this with me.

 

Is it bad..some of these, I'm not familiar with??
