Dusting {cough, cough} an old server

[rootabaga]

So we have a couple of old legacy servers in our environment, and we are really shorthanded so we don't have a lot of time to build replacements. I have been working on one for a while and finished it up today, and while checking something in the registry of the old server I came across an interesting entry...

Okay, I have to ask, was it still installed? or just a registry entry?

I was shocked to learn that the last stable release was in 2008. I thought it was long gone by then.

Netscape gone?
Loved that browser!
Haven't used it in a few decades, but still why kill it?

It wasn't murder, it was euthanasia.

Back then we were worried about using megabytes of information.
Now that we've been using Gigabytes for a long, long time why put it down? We've got tons of space now.

Interestingly, Netscape created the Javascript language.

Never bought into AOL. Had tons of their CDs from magazines though.

Netscape was a pioneer in many ways, but I figured it was done when AOL bought it.

Probably the only ones who didn’t think that were those drinking the AO-He*l kool-aid...

You mean when AOL was and continued to bundle IE with it's software?
