Gerald -
Mosaic is now for all intents and purposes relegated to the history books.

One small point - mosaic (through the U of I licence arrangement with spyglass) was the basis of IE. Mosaic Communications Corporation (now known as Netscape) also has a passing familiarity with the mosaic designs.

I think it is more accurate to say that the children of mosaic are still the only game in town...

Window Games

RE: "Do you own Windows 95/98? Do you use IE? If so, do you use it because Microsoft forces you to or because you choose to?"

G. W., I do not own Windows. It owns me. I do use Explorer. They won't let us use the Netscape product at work because they are afraid of it. They took it off my machine and warned me about reinstalling it again. Company policy. Like you said, life sucks.

I guess at least we've now identified the true innovators behind Microsoft's products. Quarterdeck, in particular.

JMHO.
