"Mosaic is truly a high-quality application. But the price for beauty is more memory and disk space. Mosaic consumes over 1.3MB of disk space, and will use about 2MB of RAM while running."
I don't know about those fancy graphical browsers, who has those kinds of resources to just throw at some pretty pictures?
- JohnFen 3y agoI also disagree that Mosaic was a "truly high-quality application". I remember it being a buggy, finicky mess. But it did something unique and brand new, so I put up with it.
- doctor_eval 3y agoIt was pretty amazing at the time. Most tech people I knew just used GUIs to tile lots of terminal windows. I built Mosaic from source, and I remember scrolling through an article on Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in front of my boss. When the image of the comet hitting Jupiter scrolled into view, he nearly fell off his chair.
