In that case, it should be spelled out that certain operations "are undefined" for computers below a certain capacity. Heck, OpenOffice.org spells out that more current versions aren't suitable for Win95 PCs, and I've found that out the hard way on my father's Win95 PC before it went belly-up and died. I'm finding that I'm using Dillo quite seriously now, after having had Firefox do things to my browsing that I hadn't asked for. And since it doesn't include all the bells-and-whistles that modern websites take for granted, I'm thinking of porting S60 or something of the sort, rather than putting up with this sort of nonsense any more. > > >Does anyone know how to turn it off, and bury > > it so deep it can't come back and haunt me?
