SAVE NETSCAPE!
Ok y’all.
You may have read that AOL is planning on discontinuing support for Netscape.
Nyuh-uh. Not having any of that.
Are you going to let them take away the reason why you’re reading this blog in the first place? Are you going to stand by and let AOL pull a Bob Irsay?
No sirs and ma’ams.
Don’t Let Them Kill Netscape!
Remember that first moment you went online? Those of you that did so in the 90’s anyway.
That N. Those stars. That soothing grey and purple.
The Netscape browser has a place in internet history, and I, for one, do not want to see it go.
Do you?
Don’t let Netscape go the way of other “unsupported” cultural gems like Arrested Development, Action, and The Famous Teddy Z. OK. Maybe not that last one, but you get what I mean.
We, the undersigned, pledge our unwavering support for Netscape out of respect for the browser that Drapeau built, and for the preservation of history.
Keep ’scape Alive!
Better yet, give it back to the people. Let the vibrant community of open source developers, programmers, and general die-hards restore Netscape to its former glory.
Viva Mosaic!
Show your support. Save Netscape. Give it back to the community.
Visit SaveNetscape.com and sign the petition.
Oh — and Happy New Year.

I was one of those people in the mid 90’s captivated by the Captain’s wheel splash screen and the shooting stars behind the N. I would like to see Mozilla rebrand Firefox 3.0 and called it Netscape X. Yes, I long for those shooting stars and captain’s wheel I last saw in Netscape 3.
I’ve signed the petition and recently drawn up a campaign site (http://www.savenetscape.tk) to help with our campaign to save the true creator of the web who brought it to the people, and has a few buttons and a …rather lengthy… account why Netscape should be saved. Keep up everything and pull out all stops to save our Netscape!
