- Option A: I remember using Netscape 1.0.
- Option B: I remember the first web page I ever saw on Mosaic.
- Option C: I remember when Netscape 6.0 came out. It deserved to die.
- Option D: I remember when IE was the only browser my bank supported. Netscape really died for me that day.
- Option E: I remember when I realized I didn't need AOL to use Internet Explorer and became free of Netscape.
Burial Services
Netscape will be officially buried on Friday, June 13, 2003, or whenever the pink slips for AOL's Netscape Division get delivered, whichever comes first. After this date Microsoft can no longer guarantee that its Internet Information Server can or will allow packets originating from Netscape users to trigger web services, nor that Internet Explorer will remain a free download.
Netscape will be buried in a private ceremony in Redmond, Virginia.
