Well you can probably still find NCSA mosaic for download somewhere if
you're willing to trade UI and features for performance, and I dare say
MS Office 95 will go like shit off a stick under wine on pretty much any
old PC. I've decided to move with the times and am finally going to
retire the ole P4 this week in favour of a shiny new Sandy Bridge
i5-2500, or at least I was... it turns out there's a chipset bug that
affects all the current socket LGA1155 motherboards and most of them
have been recalled - including the one I had on order - bah! :'(
