And here I was about to say that it had simply become Mozilla Firefox.

I guess I pruned my knowledge (read: forgot) at some point because I know I went from using Netscape to the Mozilla Application Suite as my browser of choice, and then ultimately onto Firefox when that died. (Firefox and Thunderbird were well established and Seamonkey was still in its infancy, otherwise I probably would have switched to that instead.)

Looking at the facts, the AOL buy-out is what must have got me to switch to MAS.

Aah the joys of 256 color video cards.

If you could afford one! CGA/EGA were the best we had for a while. VGA/256 color was the stuff dreams were made of (and boy were we excited to finally get a computer that had it!!!)

CGA? EGA? Well look at you, Mr. Fancy Rich Guy Computer user.

I lived the MDA life until waaaaaaaaaaaaay into the SVGA era lol.

Damn, lol! We always laughed about "Hercules", i now see even that was superior to MDA! TIL we had it "good" with CGA as kids 😅

Hercules was MDA if MDA wasn't garbage (thanks IBM!).

But yeah went from a XT with MDA to a Pentium system.

Real caveman-discovers-fire moment.
