I thought it was a reminiscence to the Netscape Navigator Browser… 😃

Hmmm, yeah but part of the N hides behind the “horizon” there.

Yesterday there was a soccer match: NAPOLI vs. JUVENTUS  
The teams were positioned second and first in the ranking table, with 4 points of difference.

…and NAPOLI won the match, and now it’s second with only one point less than JUVENTUS, hence our beloved Gffp was _out of the grace of God_ for the victory 😉

It’s interesting to see who still knows what the Netscape Navigator is/was … 😉

I still use it. It’s at version 59 now. 😛

Edit: Actually “still” isn’t the right word. I used IE up to and including version 6, switched to Opera for a decade, and switched to Netscape’s codename around 2014.

Exactly because the browser was rewritten (at that time). So Firefox isn’t Netscape. 😜

Netscape, Dial Up connection, AOL CD, CRT Monitor, that fancy iMac which was halftransparent cyan, Windows 95, Brian Enos opening sound for Windows 95, Corel Draw, Kai´s Power Goo, usenet, yahoo mailing lists, the labrador, altavista, geocities, the dancing baby/banana, afterdark screensaver with the flying toasters, that starfield, adori online shop, IRC, Commodore promising to keep up…

Amidst an abysmally shitty weekend, I finally finished The Secret of Monkey Island. Actually once I got past that ghost-with-grog bit I flew through it (thanks for the hints).

I’ll post my thoughts soon.

Somebody who doesn´t want to be named missed you a teenie-weenie bit and is sorry to hear this, too. 😿
