Seattle-based software company responsible for Internet in a Box and Internet Office. Both products offered Spry's web browser, a reworked version of the Spyglass browser, which was a reworked version of the original NCSA Mosaic. Spry was purchased by Compuserve in late 1994, chiefly to give CSI a browser strategy. After Microsoft decided to kill the browser market with Internet Explorer, software production was halted and the company launched Sprynet as a low-end, Internet-only ISP, as opposed to CSI's higher-priced offerings. Sprynet was eventually purchased by Mindspring for a pittance when the house of cards finally fell.
