'''SlipKnot''' was one of the earliest [[World Wide Web]] [[web browser|browsers]], available to [[Microsoft Windows]] users between November 1994 and January 1998.  It was created by Peter Brooks of MicroMind, Inc. to provide a fully graphical view of the web for users without a [[Serial Line Internet Protocol|SLIP]] or other [[TCP/IP]] connection to the net, hence the name – SLIP...not. SlipKnot provided a graphical web experience through what would otherwise be a text-only [[Unix shell account]].<ref>[[The Washington Post]] ''How to SLIP or SlipKnot Through the Wonders of the Web'' Margot Williams February 13, 1995</ref> SlipKnot version 1.0 was released on November 22, 1994, approximately 3 weeks before [[Netscape Communications Corporation|Netscape]]'s [[Netscape Navigator]] version 1.0 came out.  It was designed to serve a significant fraction of [[PC compatible|PC]]/Windows-based [[Internet]] users who could not use [[Mosaic (web browser)|Mosaic]] or Netscape at that time. ([[Internet Explorer]] was released in the following year after SlipKnot, in August 1995.)
