1) IE 7 has tabs :)

2) Netscape did not invent the internet. http://www.isoc.org/internet/history/brief.shtml

1) yes, and I expect IE7 will be a huge improvement on IE 6. It was released publicly today no? I know it has been in beta testing for a while. But from what I have heard, it will be out of date very soon.

2) I know that netscape as a company did not 'invent' the internet. It was made by a few guys who wanted to share theirs and each others notes, and one of them thought of the possibilities it could have an went off to form netscape. I really should know his nname, and the name of the organisation that started off the note-sharing, but meh! I will read up on it more one day and get my facts right ;)

Well, originally, it was used by DARPA (a US defense agency) for defense projects to be able to communicate. It was called ARPAnet. It was completely separate from the real world -- no public access. The government then added connections to certain schools that did a lot of defense work like University of California at Berkeley. As a few more schools got connected, it started to take on a life of its own... then, the government stopped using it for defense projects. It eventually became what we have today ( ... )
