On the other hand, if you are situating this behind a DSL/cable router
(firewall) and only visiting "trusted" websites (website which you know
to be legit like major companies, friends, family, etc), then it should
be fine on the internet. However, Chip is correct, if you plan to just
"browse" the internet somewhat indescriminantly then a windows 95 box is
horribly insecure.

A computer like this is fine for someone who wants to go on the Internet
principally to have email capability. And a place like the Second Mile Center
sells machines of this vintage and capacity in the $25 to $50 range.
I doubt that you could run anything more recent than Windows 95 on
this box, and Windows 95 is very insecure. So, it is *not* suitable
for internet work. It would be OK for someone who wants to run Word,
Excel, games etc, without going online. It might be a good machine
for games and educational software for a young child (without a
network connection).
