Well if it works, don't fix it!

One thing we all know is 98+ worked well, it just lacked adequate system
resources. Especially when confronted with bloated software that is being
written nowadays.

Hello:

With the last update of the Firefox v2.0.0.20 browser for Windows being
released on Dec, 18, 2008, Firefox will have no planned future updates
for a
browser that supports Windows 98/ME.

However, Opera has released an alpha build of its new v10.0 browser on
Dec.
3, 2008. The good news is that Opera appears to be continuing to support
Windows 98/ME as indicated by the systems requirements listed on the
following alpha download sites:


http://software.techrepublic.com.com...x?docid=874223

Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP


http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail...ws/945720329/1

Windows 2000/2003/9x/XP

Please note that these downloads are for an alpha release and should not
be
downloaded for use by end users for regular use (unless they just want to
experiment).

Cheers,

Jerry

This is what I was told by an Opera support person:

"We don't test much anymore on win9x systems beyond 'does it
start', so we rely on volunteers and users to find and file any
non-obvious issues."
