Netscape History Trick

Although it's hard to find, Netscape does have a history function. It's hidden under "Tools" in the Communicator menu, the one with the Netscape Icon. It can also be accessed with the keyboard shortcut cmd+H. It is very limited though as it is for the current session only. Once you shut down Netscape or it locks up you lose all your history.

There is a way to get your history for the past 7 days. Type "about:global" (no quotes, spaces or http://) into the Go To: field and press return. You will get all the URLs you have visited for the last 7 days or so with clickable links and the date and time you visited. I have no idea how they are sorted but they are there.
