With 166 Mhz machine, even Netscape 4.08 ran very slowly. Though it is not
the easiest browser to master, and has a steep learning curve, I would
heartily recommend Opera 5.11, which is now free. There is also a very
good book (I can vouch for it as I know the author's work & have read much
by him) by Jonathen Lyster "The Opera 5.x book" issued by No Starch Press
<http://www.nostarch.com/>. Opera can be downloaded at
