No More Netscape

[Ian]

BBC news are reporting that the once famous Netscape Navigator web browser is to be retired. AOL (who own netscape) plan to end support for the product on 1st Feb 2008.

"Netscape was developed by Marc Andreessen, co-author of Mosaic, the first popular web browser. Mosaic was written while Mr Andreessen was a student at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois in 1992. After graduation he set up Netscape Communications Corporation and began development of the Navigator browser. The first version was released in 1994. It was quickly a success and dominated the browser market in the mid-1990s."

Really though Firefox could be considered the new incarnation since most of the Netscape staff migrated to Mozilla.
