Hey, For email if you can find a copy Claris Emailer 2 is a great email client for that era. Eudora light is also a nice choice. However if you friend needs to have HTML email then you would have to look at Outlook 4.x or something(I use Claris exclusively even in OS X, and used Eudora before switching to Emailer). On a Quadra 950 that I use for email and very simple web I have both IE 4.01 and Netscape 4.08 which are slow but usable. I know netscape still has their download for 4.08 but not sure about Microsoft. If you want I can email you the installer. Just a note if your friend is willing to go inside the LC then picking up a full 040 chip and putting it in there will help speeds a bit. They can be picked up for around $10 - 20 dollars on eBay.
Hope this helps. JOS >A friend of mine uses an LC475 for her studies-mainly word >processing-but has now decided she would like to access the net with >it.
