Happy Tenth to the Browser
An interesting article from the print edition of Newsweek ran on MSNBC.com about the 10-year anniversary of Mosaic, the first graphical web browser. Why was the web browser so important? Well, if you ever tried surfing the Internet with Gopher or any other text browsers, you would know instantly.
Ah, I remember first using Gopher at the computer labs of the University of Missouri while a wee English student. Then, the labs deployed Mosaic, and I could suddenly surf the Web in vivid e-Technicolor. It was one small "click" for man, one giant "hit" for mankind.
