I will say that:

- Firefox 2.0.0.20 *IS STILL* a valid option for win-98
users - Firefox should have been used by Win-9x/me users
instead of
IE6 for the past 4 years


Totally agreed.

- If not Firefox, then I don't know what. Perhaps some
version of Netscape Navigator 7/8/9.


I like Opera, you don't. Fine.

- It's my impression that Opera as a browser wasn't very
good 4 years ago.


Perhaps you should try a current (10.00 or above version and
then criticize it.

Anyone running win-9x/me and just now moving away from IE6
today could go to Firefox 2.0.0.20 or what-ever version of
Opera will run on win-9x/me. Or they could install
KernelEx and run Firefox 3.x.


Correct. And IMHO, Opera is the best option.

Now, back to the KF you go, buddy. Cheers.


Why? he responded without any antagonism that I spotted.
He favours Firefox 2 over IE6, and I won't disagree there.
He seems unwilling to look at Opera, but that's his loss.
