Last night at midnight Pacific time, Microsoft released Internet Explorer 3.0 officially. Yesterday Netscape posted a new homepage outlining how Netscape Navigator 3.0 can kick the crap out of Internet Explorer 3.0.

The strangest events have been taking place. AOL goes down for 19 hours. My ISP, usually impeccable with connect rate (28800) and no busy signals, has been connecting at 26400 and frequent busy signals starting a week ago. My father’s Prodigy seems to be working in slow motion for the last 3 days Coincidence?? Decide…
I don’t want to be lame and give you news that’s not real exciting so here is a list of some of the shareware I have found to be exceptional for the Windows 95 operating system. All of the following can be downloaded at Windows95.com. Browser: Forget about Netscape. Microsoft Internet Explorer has gone from…
America Online (AOL), is down. AOL crashed at 4 a.m. EST while it was installing new software that had to do with its network routing system, a problem area for other ISPs. As of 11:07 p.m., it was still down. If you think this IS a major problem, read below: It’s not a major problem. All…
My hand is killing me. I think I am getting carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s in my left hand, all the way on the side near the pinky. Here are some things I heard that can help relieve sore hands from repetitive stress. Squeeze a racquetball or tennis ball to build up the strength in your…
Why do people think Microsoft is the Devil? It’s just a company. They make software. It’s Redmond, Washington, not Redmond, Hell, Level 9. Open Letter to all closed-minded sheep. You know who you are: Try to be a little more objective when it comes to companies like Netscape and Microsoft. Netscape didn’t save the earth from…
In the interest of brevity (Don’t count on it, today’s column is WAY too long) I am only going to compare two browsers. Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 beta 2 and Netscape Navigator 3.0 beta 6. These are the two browsers that have the most impact on the Web at this time but if you are…
So who’s making the headlines these days? It seems like Microsoft has been in every major announcement in the last few weeks. Windows NT 4.0 rolled out the other night beating its main competitor Novell Netware (code named Green River) to market. NT fixed some bugs and limitations which place it to be the server…
This column, Beta Net Review, tries to publish every day and, at the same time, only give you news that’s interesting. So in the true spirit of net honesty I have to say… Not much happened yesterday.

Editor’s Note: We only use 28.8 modems. One of the most striking similarities of most web pages is the lack of any sound. The net is deaf. Quietly clicking away without a single voice or note. There have been many attempts to break into this silent world which can be counted on one hand. The…
I’ve often compared the Internet to pre-World War I Europe. The net is a thick, twisted mass of agreements and alliances. The major players and their tangled web of handshakes can all be listed. Oracle‘s leader Larry Ellison has predicted the doom of the PC and thinks that the NC (Network Computer) will rule the…
