I remember when Mosaic was launched. Rumour spread around campus one day and we ran to a computer room to check it out. Our jaws dropped!

Then Netscape took over and eventually faltered allowing Microsoft to take over with Internet Explorer. It was great at first until it wasn’t and people started creating web pages that only worked with IE. Later came Flash and Silverfail. Both have luckily disappeared.

Today we have Chrome, Firefox, Edge and then there’s @vivaldi_browser and other user friendly browsers. We have come a long way and yet we are in many ways back where it started.

My fondest memory is checking the newsgroups for new posts every morning on one of the campus HP-UX terminals. Lesser fond memory is everyone creating personal home pages with animated UNDER CONSTRUCTION gifs everywhere.

Or erhmm, a girl having to come up with an explanation because her husband had run the finger command from their home country on her account and seen that she was logged in from my location after midnight.
