Well gee… that’s helpful…. if I actually wanted to test this.  The reality is, 
I don’t.    Running an internet browsers from the mid ’90’s (or is it early 
90’s?) is so… pointless.

I should have known someone would dredge up some old archives somewhere… 

The point is, nobody uses or needs any of this ancient stuff anymore; outside 
of a museum it has no real interest today.
