Dave Winer wrote (www.scripting.com) Is it just me, or is it universally galling to point at Wired now that Lycos has a pseudo-frame at the top of each page? Wired, like Netscape, is one of the emblems of the web. Lycos is an also-ran search engine. I'd prefer if it were the other way around.

that's not entirely fair. i can remember a time Lycos and WebCrawler were the only real game in town, and Lycos seemed consistently more useful.

and it is a very small pseudo-frame ..
