Out of protest, I downgraded to NCSA Mosaic and tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Not many web pages loaded correctly, but the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
I managed to get Mosaic to compile on OS X, interestingly enough some pages do still load and look OK. One was Dennis Ritchie's page: http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/
It was actually really easy. It's not much of a surprise if you think about it. Most of the libraries Mosaic was built on ended up becoming standard, so you can just go download the old versions, compile them and link. (think libpng, Motif, etc...)
If people were interested enough I could write a quick walkthrough of what is needed though since some of it wasn't intuitive :)
edit: probably a lot easier to just get it on github https://github.com/alandipert/ncsa-mosaic -- possibly not nearly as fun. Make linux probably won't work on Mac OS X (almost), I recall having to force the compiler to create a 32 bit executable and some other things.
Now, my story begins in 19-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" 'cause that Kaiser had stolen our word "twenty". I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles.
