Yeah, Mosaic! I was trying to remember the name of the software recently. I knew it was something pre-Netscape from the early to mid 90's. My college computer lab had it set up on a few sysems. It linked to just a couple things on campus, as well as documents at a couple other universities. Text colored blue were links to other pages. Not a whole lot to see on it back then. I vaguely remember Pine for email. Actually, a friend at another university taught me how to send emails directly through the Unix mail daemon. You could spoof the "From" line to make it look like email was coming from anywhere. I really could have abused that knowledge far more than I did. Pretty much just sent bullshit emails to a few friends for laughs.
lol nice - I never really dabbled in unix much, linux a little bit.
