have been transformed from a nation of thinkers and doers to a nation of
downloaders worried about whether we are keeping up with the
technological Jones'es," Noorda said.

its Navigator more...

Netscape employees found a gigantic blue stage prop in the shape of an' e' in front of their company's front door one recent morning.

The night before, the same 10-by-12-foot stage prop -- which represents the logo for Microsoft's Internet Explorer, or IE, -- was spotted at a Microsoft bash in San Francisco.

Mozilla held a placard that read:
Netscape -- 72
Microsoft - 18
