Retrobrowsers was brought to you by Gary Korhonen and Marko Happonen.
Gary dreamt up the word "retrobrowsers" accidentally sometime during work in 1996 and downloaded a lot of binaries.
However, Gary's ability to prioritize and motivate was occasionally suspect, so when Gary got Marko a job at the same place (SoftQuad if you didn't follow the link) in 1997, Marko came to help Gary muck about with these notions of a web site.
Two months later, the two were laid off and while Marko was rehired by SoftQuad (and later went on to Secure Computing), Gary had an extended episode of work in Denver.
Right now, they're arguing about itty bitty issues regarding the Retrobrowsers site (like if it's capitalized or not, of which, Gary would prefer not). Actually, it's more like Gary throwing ideas left right centre maniacally and Marko rationalizing stuff and doing his own thing. It was initially onboard with BayNet Internet Services, but with the inception of their own domain name and eventual server, it was moved to sauna.org (which a more expansive name is being thought up) for greater control (and less fuck-ups, ahem).
in case you have any extra cash on hand, these folk can easily remedy that.

notice that they are not retrobutors, as no one will ever be able to spell that again. as well, what their contributions (retrobutions? okay, that's another reason against that prefix..) were cannot be listed at current because no one remembers what they did. or those responsible for logging such matters.

once a more organized web site comes into effect, people will be more richly acknowledged. until then, it's simply one disaster after another.
