[Coco] OT: Self-modifying email??!!

[Retro Canada]

i still remember how late microsoft came to the browser business with their shit internet exploder in 1995 where they re-invented as usual the standard and fucked with the html.

who use internet explorer? i remember web sites stating: this shit site only works on the crappy internet exploder....that was enough for me to run away but that lasted for more than a decade...

until the smartphone era set us free from that curse forever!

Tim Berners-lee invented HTML in 1988 while working at CERN. I have been
writing HTML (not using software like dreamweaver) manually since HTML 2.0.
I started with it in 1993.

Netscape was the second web browser. The first one was written by
Berners-lee, and Mosaic was the fore-runner to what became Netscape.
