Yeah, I saw it in a video about Netscape. That was a long time before FireFox, though.

Interesting find, I did not kow this. Not really surprising though, had I not taken an active interest in sports (and girls) at a younger age, I may have been down the same path. My brother and I created a text-based role playing game from scratch on the Commodore VIC-20 we used to have and I have been interested in computers ever since. Only thing is, is that programming wasn't as boring to me then as it is now.
Not dissing programming by any means, it just doesn't hold my attention like it used to.
