@jwz ☝️ To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Netscape Navigator 2.0 here is my copy I bought around 1995 when it was still a paid product. I ran the browser under Windows 95.

Shortly after snapping this photo in 2017 I tossed the product in the trash, which I regret. I took the photo as I got a sense the artifact had some historical significance, but I wasn't into retrocomputing yet and didn't realize the importance of preserving such material.

A photo of 3 black 3.5" micro floppy disks spread as a fan on a wooden desk. Behind the disks, set vertically on the desk as an open book, is a cardboard sleeve with 3 slots for the disks. They are the distribution disks and sleeve of the Netscape Navigator 2.0 web browser for Windows 95 and NT. The disks have labels with white background and the sleeve has a cover with a white background. Along with the product name and version, the labels and cover have the product logo and the artwork of a marine rudder wheel.
