Yep that woulda been around the time I started using it LOL
Internet explorer has definitely improved allot since those days, certainly nothing wrong with it as a browser now
(These days I just don't like it now because security issues/viruses/etc...but that's not really Micro$oft's fault - the 'bad guys' who create that crap just go after whatevers most popular/common.)
Then there's no addons like 'Ad-Block Plus' (I'm spoiled now almost can't use a computer without it LOL)

As Netscape had recently been abandoned, or the company that made it had gone kaput... either way it wasn't being updated any more. The team that made Firefox made it because they liked Netscape so much.
At least, that's what i think i read somewhere.
I know Netscape. was bought out by AOL who kept it going for a couple years, but eventually discontinued it/shut down that division something along that line.
I have an early version of Firefox which at that time was just "Mozilla" and a later one where it became "Firebird" then ofcourse now I've got Firefox too LOL
This thread also made me remember another browser I used way back when (lets see if anyone remembers this one!).....NCSA Mosaic ! (I think that might have been the first graphical browser??)
LOL I still have a copy of that too
