Review (in 1996):

There's a chance you've checked into the Mosaic for Windows home page to get software or find help, but have you really explored it? A more thorough browse will find useful FAQs on nagging messages like "Failed DNS Lookup" and "Socket Connection Refused".

The most hidden nuggets are the links to other software, which enable you to view formats like Quicktime, PostScript and MPEG. If you've ever spent 15 minutes downloading an audio or video file only to have it crash, you'll probably find relief here.Another hidden gold mine is the "What's New" page, a great way of finding out about brand new sites.

Mosaic may have faded a bit now that Netscape and company have come along to take the browser market by storm, but don't forget that the whole Web revolution started here.

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
