Being of nerd extraction the obvious thought struck me – could I get Mosaic to run now on my OS X Leopard box. Five minitues later and Mosiac 3.0 for windows was up and running through Darwine and I’m surfing the web 90′s style. Poor old thing crashes quite a bit, but that’s to be expected there’s been a lot of changes on the web in the past fifteen years.
