I have answered this at length before. Do not even *TRY* to run Win9x on modern hardware. Most things won't work, there are no drivers, and it remains horribly inefficient. The same codebase as Netscape 7.2 still exists. It is called Mozilla Seamonkey. It is a more modern, updated version of the *same program*. I have previously posted links to detailed instructions on how you could migrate your entire profile, complete and intact, onto Seamonkey (or Thunderbird, the stand-alone mail program) without needing to change or reconfigure anything. NT-based Windows is a lot more pleasant, more reliable and on a modern multicore CPU much faster and more responsive than Win98. I suspect most people would recommend Windows 7, which has substantially the same look and feel as Win 98 and would require minimal re-familiarisation. As for Ersatz-11, there is a Win32 version, or you could run the existing version under a VM in Virtualbox, a free hypervisor. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: [email protected] • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: [email protected] • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR)
