Far more nostalgic: NCSA Mosaic on OpenVMS running on a VAX, and that's feasible by running on the simh VAX emulator on your (Mac OS X, Linux, Windows) box.<p><a href="http://vaxa.wvnet.edu/vmswww/vms_mosaic.html" rel="nofollow">http://vaxa.wvnet.edu/vmswww/vms_mosaic.html</a>

This should come as a comfort to people who fear IE6 will never go away.<p>Mosaic at one point was used by a majority of web users and look now- no one cares about compatibility. People moved on and it is no longer in current use and no one would expect that your site should display properly in it.
Ah, C programs from the early nineties. I wonder which file has the most remotely-exploitable buffer overflows.<p>(The source code is good reading nonetheless. I love the PUBLIC macro to declare public "methods" in libwww2. A little C++ jealousy, I guess.)
