I actually bought a copy of the early Netscape software, on my husband's recommendation. He'd liked it at work and thought I should try it. But I never really got the hang of that early version, though I used later (free, of course) iterations of it.

I liked the old Netscape email program, but had to switch to Mozilla's Thunderbird when they stopped supporting it. I use Thunderbird and a couple of others, and I like it okay, but the old program was my favorite for quite a while.

It all has blended a bit around the edges with the various acquisitions and spinoffs. I thought Netscape was supported in the same was Firefox is, as open source software for the most part. Maybe someone else will take up the Netscape challenge now?
