June, 1997. Preparations are underway to bring a new product to market in the coming September. Which product & where were you at the time?

I love it, "mandatory" swimming classes. Having lived in the desert for the last 30+ years, that just makes me go HUH? ;-)

Probably getting ready to cover said product—browser?—for a daily online magazine quietly operating out of a newspaper building

Yes, browser - a specific one. And I like the stealthy description of your work at the time. Is it still operating quietly?

You're warm, unlike my cold cup of coffee that needs a refill. Funny that - who stays around for browser releases nowadays?

Hey, no fair! I asked the trivia question - I'm not giving out the answer and no one has nailed it on Twitter. YET. ;-)
Replying to @garyrozanc
Yes. The beginning of the DOM fallout, which is when the Web standards movement took root. Remember that feature! I'm curious :)
Replying to @garyrozanc
Wow! A very big bit of history. Seems tiny in retrospect. But it isn't tiny when we look at what we've achieved both +/- since!

I want to say Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 4…? September 1997 I was just about to head to university 😬

You'd be half right but I was also looking for versioning (ha! that's funny in context)
