In depth

A closer look at Netscape communicator

Just as most users these days, a decade or more ago the majority of those who went online looked for an application to help them with more than opening webpages. Netscape Communicator was one such software solution and its popularity was due to the numerous extra options that came by default in the package. The Navigator is the primary tool and it is equipped with many features for getting useful information from a friendly interface. Nonetheless, the modern standards in HTML and other technologies make the old Netscape included in this suite obsolete. Inside the Communicator users can find an e-mail client which provides pretty much all the necessary functions for sending, receiving and managing messages. Other features like accessing the preferred newsgroups or editing HTML code are also provided by Netscape Communicator and they can be opened from the dedicated menu, regardless of the application in the suite the user is currently working on.
