What’s Old With NCSA Mosaic
Help. I’ve just realised it’s now over nine years since I first published my “Unofficial KoRn Homepage” at the now defunct What’s New With NCSA Mosaic pages, which must mean I’m like 110 years old in web years or something.
That address even made it into Korn’s “Life Is Peachy” liner notes, back in the day. I think I’ll declare myself an web-OAP and reminisce about the good old days from now on in.
A certain blissful naivete accompanied the early days of the web. And even though the pages looked terrible, in general it was pretty easy to get around. Sometimes I long for the straightforward usability of 1995!
And speaking of 1995, I was entertained a few years ago when I found my laughable 8th grade/freshman year (I don’t know which) web page on the Internet Archive. This thing is from 1995ish, so if you’re 110 years old in Intarweb, I’m damn near antediluvian!
