15 Years Later and NCSA Mosaic Still Works Just

Having flash-backs to the early days of the web this evening (wanted some images of NCSA Mosaic for a project); ended up routing around ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/Mosaic where all the old Mosaic code is archived. 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.
