This is the grandfather of all "read-only" web browsers (remember, the original NeXT-based browser/server allowed remote editing!)… and the reason why people like Mark Andreesen managed to convert a lot of public money (both for the funding of NCSA itself, but also that of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) into private money, converting Mosaic into Netscape.

@feoh It was a pain, but unfortunately what my school had picked for their network. At this time we didn't have any kind of browser on the PCs, just the DOS telnet client to the student DEC5100 #Ultrix server where the wildest thing you could do was use #Gopher. Later some of the more rogue students experimented with running the #NCSAMosaic browser on the DEC and displaying it on the Windows 3.11 clients through X/Windows.

@aral The salient point is that although both companies’ #browsers did not appreciably derive actual mechanisms (code) from #NCSA, they would not exist without #NCSAMosaic’s initial research, design, and refinement.

So both @kpeace and @keithzg are correct depending on one’s perspective.

Mark Gardner Jul 27, 2023

@kpeace @keithzg @aral Yes, but no.

Both companies’ web #browsers trace their origins to #Mosaic by The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s National Center for Supercomputing Applications (#NCSA).

#Netscape Navigator was a rewrite of #NCSAMosaic by its co-creators.

#Microsoft #InternetExplorer was based on code licensed from Spyglass, a #Mosaic trademark and technology licensee who had supposedly only used the original code sparingly.

Has it really been 30 years since NCSA mosaic came out? Why, yes, it has.

With the 30th anniversary of NCSA Mosaic's 1.0 this week, I'm reminded that I was one of the earliest, possibly only the second person, to have Mosaic on a box at all of JMU...

...and I got it from (I presume) the first one to have it, @dwenius

(at the time that WWW was coming out, the school admins were still exploring the short-lived Gopher)

My favourite browser! #NCSAMosaic from National Center for Supercomputing Applications. It has some issues, tough 😂 😂 😂
