I miss Netscape on Windows 3.1 on a 4:3 CRT monitor in 256 colors with red on yellow Comic Sans bold italic H1 blink tag marquee with an unnecessary trail of ellipses scrolling left to right with 3 iframes with Java and Flash applets with a redirect to goatse.

But seriously, I miss Pythonline, gopher, finger, IRC, and sunsite.

IRC is still up, from Libera.chat (ex-Freenode) to efnet and so on. Gopher has lots of usage at gopher://sdf.org, gopher://magical.fish and gopher://floodgap.org.

On Sunsite, Ibiblio it's still up. And Slashdot.

Without VRML97, we wouldn't have PNG. Ah the bad old days. Netsplit!
