It seems like a good time to repeat how thankful I am that the entire Canadian federal election process has a campaign period that’s at least 36 days and no more than 50 days.

2024 is the 30th anniversary of the Netscape web browser in 1994, long before Chrome & Internet Explorer.

Netscape could stream text & images in real time over 0.0144 Mbps dial-up modem.

Far faster than NCSA Mosaic that downloaded ALL text & images before displaying websites.
