damn, people love nostalgia

TechCrunch reports that AOL is discontinuing Netscape Browser Development.

Check out all the comments on this. Close to 100 people remember the “good ole days” of using Netscape Navigator. I’m a total geek, and I remember when Marc Andreesen and company came out with Netscape. In fact I even hung out at the Netscape offices down in Mountain View a bit; I had friends working there.

However!! the amount of nostalgia displayed on the TechCrunch post is kind of gross.

Plus, this is news? I was actually more surprised to read that AOL was doing *any* development on the Netscape browser at all.

Nostalgia is death. Let’s move on.
