The good old days of the interwebs. I remember it well. My first pc of my own had a 100mhz processor and a full gigabyte hard drive. Running windows 95.

Netscape became Mozilla Suite, which then separated to Firefox and Thunderbird. I have use all of them since the beginning. I did prefer Internet Explorer until the Mozilla Suite came along.
Marc Andreeson is the originator (?) of Netscape. Before that was Mosaic, after was Firefox. Seems I read something about he had a toy dinosaur he called Mozilla on his monitor, thus the name.
Interesting note, around that time MicroSoft introduced a brower... a really cheesy thing call Internet Explorer. MS wasn't interested in further developing the thing claiming that the internet wasn't that big a deal.
Microsoft licensed the NCSA Mosaic browser source code, from which it created Internet Explorer. NCSA is where Marc Andreeson worked (part of U of Illinois, Champagne).
I've always thought for some reason the 'Mozilla' name came from Mosaic + Godzilla, meaning Mosaic on steroids.
