In 2000, I used my student discount to get a copy of FrontPage 98. FrontPage had all these cool DHTML effects like “glow” using proprietary ActiveX controls. I liked the effects so much, I switched back to using Internet Explorer 5. The year 2001 would bring us IE6 on Windows XP with a brand new aesthetic that made Netscape feel ancient. During these years I built websites for college groups like my ultimate frisbee team and was blissfully ignorant of the fact that they didn’t work the same in non-IE browsers. This is some foreshadowing of the problems with IE’s monopoly.
