Now with 5 million members, AOL is wheelin’ and dealin’ with the big boys. Both Microsoft and Netscape have sent out press releases claiming alliances with AOL. (See…
Originally posted March 12, 1996 Microsoft and Intel announced Monday, March 11, 1996 that they are going to push for better hardware standards to make audio/video phones over the internet more available to the public.

Originally posted Mar 9, 1996 FINALLY! America Online has announced plans to upgrade their popular proprietary software. The web browser that some consider the worst in existence will support backgrounds, tables, HTML 3.0 , and yes the <CENTER> tag!
