\foilhead{Browser Wars}
+Non-trivial and incompatible interfaces: ftp, telnet, email, gopher, lynx.

+Limited to people with resonable programming skills.

Netscape versus IE in early days (mid and late 1990's).
\begin{itemize}
\item Netscape.
\begin{itemize}
+ \item 1993. Primitive Mosaic browser (multimedia web pages).
\item 1994. Mosaic Communications Corporation, then Netscape Communications. Mosaic Netscape 0.9, then Netscape Navigator 1.0. Over three-quarters of the browser market within three months of launching. From 5 to 2000 programmers. Virtually no competitors.
\item 1995. IPO, market value of 2.9B. A highly innovative product. Thousands of employees.
\item 1997. Netscape Communicator: Netscape Navigator, Netscape Address Book, Netscape Mail and Newsgroups, and Netscape Composer.
