While on the subject, the CSS rendering engines used in the now historic browsers are slow to interpret CSS code, and dont understand the majority of code used in today's sites.
I use OS9 pretty regularly, and I use classilla on that platform. Instead of presenting a desktop browser user agent to websites, it'll present (pretend) a mobile browser user agent to the website server, and typically automatically return the mobile browser version of many sites back to classilla.
