I've worked at NCSA (to one extent or another) for about a decade. It's pretty remarkable to hear (from people who both pre-dated and post-dated the browser work) about the suite of tools being developed around that time. Many had a deep focus on collaboration, but none took off quite as much as Mosaic. A few are harder to find out about -- like the XCMD extension to HyperCard that added support for animations right off the Cray, or Contours, or PalEdit, or Montage for collaborative environments -- and others, like Habanero a few years later ( https://www.hpcwire.com/1999/04/16/ncsa-habanero-hot-java-ba... ) left comparatively bigger footprints.

I stopped by the Oil Chemistry Building when I was in town a while back, and the day I visited they were tearing down the Fishbowl. I’ve gone places and found things still there. I’ve gone places and found them long gone. I’ve never come back to find a demolition crew working during a holiday week to tear one of my landmarks down.

That was a very complicated day.
