While the progress of the web doesn't lock older machines out as quickly as software updates and upgrades, it will continue advancing and will require updates that will be beyond the ca.
Can anyone still use Netscape 1? Yes, but it doesn't have support for frames. Netscape 2 or 3? Yes, but its security certificates are outdated, so you can't use 128-bit security sites. Netscape 4? Yes, but it doesn't support a number of key web standards correctly (CSS, DOCTYPE). In far less than ten years, web sites will use different revisions of Java and JavaScript and possibly XML, which will require you to upgrade your browser to Netscape 8 or Explorer 10 or other browsers (iCab, Opera, OmniWeb) and their system requirements will all be higher (Mac OS X 10.6?) which will in turn require higher hardware requirements (600MHz? G4? 512MB RAM?).
