I wrote my first program in 1971, Fortran II, IBM 360, punchcards. By the early 90s I was a burned out software developer, hating my job, long hours, impossible deadlines. Fortran, assembly, ADA, Pascal, C, C++. Then Netscape came out and I remember thinking, holy cow, a world wide computer network, this is going to be fun. It breathed new life into my career and I've been building web sites ever since. PHP/MySql specialist. I can do in one week what it used to take a year to do.
Things have changed tremendously, but it has taken way too long. I think Microsoft slowed down innovation with their business practices and I really dislike .NET and its development environment. Way too complicated. Open source is the future.

Now one can buy a forum and d/l it in minutes. It used to take weeks of hand coding to get something like this forum up and running.
I see more and more sites that look as though they were designed and hosted on open source platforms. Many political sites look like this now.
How about the Viola, Nexus, Lynx, Cello browsers?

For dead search engines, how about Dogpile, Hotbot, Lycos, Jumbo, Excite and Webcrawler?
All were crushed by Google's technological superiority.
