abandoned

Note that xmms.org is not their website! See What ever happened to XMMS.ORG?
Can use the libSIDPlay2 plugin to play Commodore SID audio. See Oldschool music.
XMMS2 might have been a replacement, but it’s apparently abandoned too.
bmp was meant to be a GTK port, but it was ultimately abandoned.

just a placeholder

was cooledit.sourceforge.net

An editor I probably tinkered with around May 2003.

I don’t know if this is actually written in Python, but I have it noted as being good for editing Python scripts.

The problem with the Mozilla of browsers is that decent functionality isn’t included out of the box. This is what drove me away from Windows and I don’t want to waste my life configuring things anymore.. so I can’t really stand this browser.

Mozilla: Firebird, Phoenix or whatever other names.
This project is dead – see SeaMonkey.

A capable email client tiny enough to fit on a floppy!

This program prompted my very first review!

was neoplanet.com

A Windows 16bit internet browser+email suite. It leveraged Internet Explorer‘s HTML rendering engine.

This is probably the most significant piece of software I’ve ever used, because it was the initial prompt for my writing and publishing reviews. It pushed a major hobby and has influenced whole careers. As for it being any good.. well it had potential that it didn’t meet. At the time it was better than Opera but it just didn’t survive the web browser marathon.
