old machineI found some outrageously obsolete documentation for our distributed authentication service. One of the major topics was making sure users have a browser that supports SSL. High-tech stuff!

According to this document, this is our official list of supported browsers applications:

  • Netscape Navigator (UNIX/Mac version 1.12 and later, Windows version 1.22 and later)
  • IBM Internet Connection Secure WebExplorer (version 1.1) for OS/2
  • Delrina Cyberjack Web (version 7.00)
  • Prodigy Web Browser (version 1.4b)
  • InternetMCI (version 1.0)
  • Microsoft’s Internet Explorer
  • America Online (version 3)
  • Quarterdeck Mosaic 2.0

Prodigy and InternetMCI. Now there’s a blast from the past. And “Delrina Cyberjack Web”? I’ve never even heard of it. Whatever that was, even its name is comically dated, like the “MyE-CyberWebNetOnLine.com”-style domains that were all the rage in the late 90s. Good for a quick early-morning laugh, at least.
