Marc's Voice

Om’s love affair with Marc Andressen

Om Malik had one of those ‘off-the-record’ conversations which mean nothing to us - reminding us how successful Netscape was, how much money it made for it’s shareholders and how visionary Marc Andressen - was.

Om (clearly being fed facts by Marc) recants - at the time of it’s sale - how much money Netscape was making and had in the bank.

Funny cause all I can remember is Netscape 4. Enough said.

The worst abomination ever - single handedly telling us all to fuck off, proving how many diletantes there were there and full of shit they really were. Add to that a) the arrogance, b) the complete ignorance of anything human (at that time called Consumer Internet) and then c) playing this Microsoft’s the bad guy scapegoat game - well believe you me - I’m not the only one who sees Netscape at what it really was.

So please - do your revisionist thinking piece - pump up 24 Hour Party People Laundry and hope that Marc’s string of bad luck doesn’t continue.

Cause he sure as hell hasn’t done shit since - what 1995?
