Mozilla releases a ‘Bletchly park’ for your new computer
Have we just downloaded a piece of technology-history re-branded by Mozilla as ‘SeaMonkey‘?
This program promises to be the all-in-one, internet application suite. However quite is clearly Netscape Navigator re-released!
Oh wait, no wait. The intro blurb says, “SeaMonkey… Building on the great heritage of the Netscape Communicator”. So it is Netscape… again. [Pause]
Oh…
[Edges gently back to the door hoping he can escape then un-install].

Seamonkey is the direct evolution of the Mozilla Suite which was originally an open-sourced version of Netscape Communicator, and was the flagship product of Mozilla before they released Firefox and therefore actually something people actually wanted to use (by being a lot slimmer, less cluttered, and including tabs).
It’s always been a bit crap.
