[SIGCIS-Members] Fwd: [CDCinfo] a question for computer historians regarding Netscape

[Christine Finn]

Hi,

When Artifacts launched in 2001, I had a celebration dinner at the
legendary Buck's Diner in Woodside...I was told my table was "where
Netscape was founded."

I imagine there were meetings all over Silicon Valley, but this might back
up that claim..

?

Nice recall of memories, thanks!

best wishes,

Christine
