Catch of the Day: Surfing with a Sega Controller! 🌀🎮

Hey Retro Fans!

Just in time for the weekend, our logs have washed up a true console classic. We recorded a visit from Netscape Navigator 3.0 on the Sega Dreamcast!

Back in 1998, the Dreamcast wasn't just graphically ahead of its time; it was also the very first game console to ship out-of-the-box with a built-in modem (and later a broadband adapter). Instead of just gaming, you could pop in a disc like Planetweb or Dream Passport and suddenly surf the internet right on your living room CRT TV!

Under the hood of many of these Dreamcast web discs ran a customized version of the classic Netscape Navigator. Anyone who has ever tried typing a URL using the analog stick of a Dreamcast controller knows the true pain of the early 2000s. The fact that this legendary white console is still finding its way into our Frog pond today is absolute retro magic!

We wish you all a wonderful weekend – and don't forget your VMUs!

Catch of the Day: The Ship's Wheel of the Early Internet! 🧭💾

Hey Retro Fans!
Just in time for the weekend, we are shining our spotlight on a true giant of early web history that immortalized itself in our logs today with 2 clicks: Netscape Navigator 4.04!

We recorded a wonderful visit from a classic Mac system running this iconic browser from 1997. For many of us, that green "N" logo with the animated starry sky (or the ship's wheel) was the very first gateway to the World Wide Web.
Version 4.04 hails straight from the heat of the great browser war against Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Back then, blinking text, wild framesets, and 'Best viewed with Netscape' buttons were the order of the day.

The fact that someone is still firing up this historically significant browser today to search for information in the Frog pond is pure internet romance to us.

Let those modems screech!

Siehe da, der DB Navigator weiß mehr als die Kölner Verkehrsbetriebe über den KVB-Bus.

@kleines_z Ich kann dein Problem in der App #Navigator nachvollziehen: Dort werden ebenfalls immer „0 Minuten Fußweg nach …“ am Umsteigepunkt angezeigt und auch die Änderung der Gehgeschwindigkeit scheint keine Auswirkung auf die Verbindungen zu haben.

Die zusätzlich angezeigte „Umsteigezeit“ entspricht nur der Diff. zw. Ankunft und Abfahrt an den Umsteigepunkten — wie bei der DB-App. VBB- oder BVG-App zeigen diese gar nicht an. Alle drei erlauben aber die Vorgabe von Mindestdauern.

Was außer ständigen Verspätungen bei der #Bahn noch nervt: Dass der #Navigator nicht checkt, wenn ich großzügige Umsteigezeiten eingeplant habe und die Anschlüsse trotz Verspätung problemlos erreichbar sind, er mir aber anzeigt, dass meine Reise "nicht mehr fahrbar" sein soll.
