Happy Birthday to the lizard...
Mozillazine points out that today is the fifth anniversary of the release of the in-development Netscape Navigator 5.0 codebase that spawned the Mozilla project.
It took somewhat longer than many people expected to become usable (the M13 build I first downloaded 3 years ago was painful, and Netscape 6 was still a dog) but performance, stability and functionality have all been improving steadily, and it's now shaping up to be a damn good browser.
I'll allow myself a small flush of pride that I helped it get this far (if only in a small way). Here's to the next 5 years...
Edit: How spooky is that? Today also saw bugzilla get its 200,000th bug report. Which was, of course, rapidly VERIFIED INVALID.
