Happy 31st Anniversary of the First Public Release of NCSA X/Mosaic (v0.5).
Sadly, I could not find an actual screenshot of v0.5, so this one of v1.2 from wikipedia will have to do.
I worked on X/Mosaic (v2.6+) at NCSA SDG as a "student programmer" back in '95-'96, after the Netscape Exodus but while Mosaic was still under active development. It was a good learning experience and a way to earn $10/hr in an on-campus job as a Computer Engineering undergrad.

@utdbrent I had forgotten that about Mozilla! Most of my #Usenet reading was earlier, from 1980s #WesleyanU mainframe terminals, or PCs emulating VT-100s... and much later #GoogleGroups became a NewsGroup reader, including archival collections.
