Netscape's Dead
Yes, the last 4 or 5 years of Netscape development have been less than stellar, and the obvious need in the market place has been filled by Firefox, but the symbolic destruction of Netscape at the hands of my former employ… It's just sad.
We'll miss you, Nutscrape, and your fishcam.
Elwood Edwards
Who is this tool?
That's Jon Jackson.
The guy next to him on the left with the green shirt is a very
famous guy, Elwood Edwards.
Elwood Edwards is an American voice over actor. He is best known as
the voice of the Internet service provider America Online, which he
first recorded in 1989. His greetings include "Welcome," "You've
got mail," "You've got pictures," "File's done," and "Goodbye." In
1989, Edwards's wife overheard online service Q-Link CEO Steve Case
describe how he wanted to add a voice to its user interface. In
October Edwards's voice premiered on AOL's new program.
His voice has also appeared in an episode of The Simpsons (where he
provided the voice of a virtual doctor, saying "You've got leprosy"
and "Goodbye"), and in advertising for the movie You've Got
Mail.
