Marc Andreessen, one of the original "golden geeks" of Silicon Valley, is normally a pretty chatty guy. He blogs a couple times a day on most week days, and he has a lot to say about a broad variety of subjects, including box office grosses, Newt Gingrich and the writers strike.
He has been conspicuously quiet on one subject, though. Last week, when AOL announced plans to pull the plug on support for Netscape browsers, Andreessen kept mum. Instead, he blogged about killer tigers and about old archived articles from the New Yorker, with which he's apparently obsessed.
Elsewhere on the web, the Netscape browser was eulogized far and wide, including more than a few articles titled "RIP Netscape." Given the fact that Netscape wasAndreessen's baby (he worked on the Mosaic browser and Netscape browsers for a good part of a decade, and it catapulted him to fame and obscene-wealthdom), we thought he'd have something to say about it. Apparently, though, we all deal with death in different ways.
