For real though, if anyone's old enough to remember using Netscape Navigator, they are definitely old enough to have had a grandchild by now.
I was about to get pissed off but then I remembered I'm 41, so yeah, if I had a kid at 20 and they had a kid at 20...
Guess I'll go sit back down in my rocking chair and take my nap.
I guess, technically, if I had had a kid at 18-20 and my kid had done the same, maybe it would be possible. Then again, a younger step-sibling is already a grandmother.
We were still supporting navigator and/or communicator when I was working in my first IT job doing tech support for a dial-up provider.
To be fair, if you worked in the government (including the military), old apps and programs could last a long time. I wasn't THAT old when I used Netscape in the Army. Plus, there's precocious kids who do stuff like use browser and command line stuff (and even code) before their age is in the double digits.
Facts. I remember using Netscape and using MSDOS as a kid, and I'm in my early 30s, not quite old enough to have grandchildren lol
