Quick question--who remembers the name of the browser you used before Netscape (which was before IE, which I hope everyone has replaced with something else)?

I am not. You guys are being intentionally dense? AOL sucked then. It did. The way they set it up was for a demographic that I did not belong to or want to belong to. I did not want to chat with housewives in Debuque about recipes or set up friends groups with other Sk8erGirlz. And it was an impediment to getting to actual internet content. And it was poorly designed. And yes, I realized that then. I would have thought that most people posting here would agree.
Controversial stance - emoticons and icons and chat groups does not equal content. Where is Al Gore when I need him?
