Core77

Core77 circa 1997

Instagram is the name of a photo-sharing app, and a user known only as "Jon" has used it to post a photo of Core77's homepage circa 1997. Jon, where on Earth did you dig up this fossil? As you can see, the browser is Netscape (those of you under 25, never mind, you don't need to know what that was) and back then it was just Core, no 77.

Nice graphics, huh? And I think that entire page was about 4k to load.

Hey, that was me!

I was digging through some of the ancient web design books at Ravensbourne; here's another shot http://instagr.am/p/BVC-V/

I believe I found it in the bottom book: http://amzn.to/i2WnHZ

Anyway, massive blast from the past and thank god the 90s are over!

Whaddya mean "under 25 never mind"? IMHO anyone on the net who does not know what Netscape Navigator was must read history. Aah NN 4.7.4.: The best browser ever!

I remember that site. Around this time Stuart and Eric came up to Ottawa to talk about the site. Inspired me to create a digital portfolio
