Netscape announced Netscape Navigator 9 splash screen winner...



Designed by Mario Herbert.

We especially liked the clean look and the throwback feel of the ship's wheel.

The 14 entries were available here.

Reminds me of the splash screen that was used for Netscape 2/3. Anybody have a screenshot of that?

I have a Special Edition - Using Netscape 3 book (800+ pages) published by Que; chief writer Mark R. Brown; copyright 1996. Accompanyig the book is a CD-ROM with Netscape 3 and other goodies. (Paid $4.99 for it ('Orig 49.99') on a closeout shelf at CompUSA in 1999.)

Netscape is in two compilations: 16-bit for Windows 3.1 (and family), and 32-bit for Windows 95 and NT.

My first actual use of Netscape was 4.something downloaded via IE onto a 95 system.

My first was Netscape 3 Gold edition. It came with the Sympatico (Canada) connect to the internet CD (at the time I was living in Canada).

As an aside, I recently visited my son (in Canada) only to find that he has purchased an i-Mac. Wow is about all I can say. I'm seriously debating going over to the "other side". And should that happen, Netscape will not accompany me.
