- cosmojg 6y agoConsidering the uncanny similarity in names, I wouldn't be surprised if one inspired the other.
- gnufx 6y agoCello didn't have Viola's salient features, did it?
- ebj073 6y agoWhat were those? What I remember from Cello was that it was very simple. It just contained the bare minimum of functionality that a browser needed to support. I don't think there were any extras. It also had a very small executable size. I think it's correct that the name, at least, and maybe some of the functionality, was derived and inspired from Viola.

- ebj073 6y agoI also used Cello during my first online days during the summer of 1993. I worked as a summer intern at a company that had a connection to the internet. I was not really cleared for access to the connection, but I got hold of a shareware TCP/IP package for Windows (Trumpet Winsock) and an ftp client, which I used to connect to ftp.sunet.se, where I got hold of copies of both Cello and NCSA Mosaic. I remember that I preferred Cello over Mosaic for the first period. It was a bit cleaner and simpler.
