Bostonist is patiently awaiting our first birthday. It'll be upon us when the temperatures are, gasp, way colder than they are today. As we wait, there is something of a milestone being celebrated elsewhere on the Boston web right now. Boston.com turned ten years old. Geeks and Academics alike may remember the web back when Lynx was the best browser available and only navigated around using text, quite fine when connecting with that fancy Hayes 2400 modem. Netscape came on the scene with it's first few incarnations showing Bostonist a world through images that loaded line by line on our screens. Soon the browser wars would begin with Netscape 2.0 and the release of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 1.0. This is all still pre-Google and when Windows 3.1 was the slickest OS on the market. Boston.com, however, became the Boston Globe's home on the web that year, 1995.
