is 8 years long beacuse that how long i had a computer with internet

quick history lesson: netscape used to rule the browser wars - then internet explorer came out and there was competition. the geniuses at netscape decide to rewrite their code from ground up, costing them many years; all the while, internet explorer improved and eventually reversed netscape's dominance. internet explorer has ruled ever since.

well, lately of course, firefox is starting to gain traction. most (computer-literate) people i know use firefox nowadays.

IE is at 70-something percent and Firefox is nearing 20 I believe. Netscape has last than one percent atm.

Opera is more awesome anyway.

And yeah, I used to use Netscape back in 98 or 99.

Though I seem to recall having used Mosaic as well.

I never liked netscape. My dad was into it, but it's just meh..
