  Win31 and OS/2 have browsers and email.  They still work fine.

  Software doesn't rot like wood.

  About 3 months ago I surfed the web with Win31 running the Win31 IE5 =
on a
  486DX33 and it performed as well as anything else for the pages I was
  viewing.

  Now you can tell me how I was hallucinating the whole experience...

      OK, I'll wast the bandwidth is you want.

      So why is it again that NT4 and IE/OE's through at least 6.X =
support the

      If they're not productive, why do you support them?
