Unless, of course, someone was kind enough to take the time and trouble to write and maintain a browser for OS 9 (8.6 is actually the recommended minimum OS) that could cope with the modern Web. :D http://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/releases/ Please be sure to read all the installation and release notes before you install it. Just as it says on the page, the latest version of Classilla is still considered alpha-quality software (so caveat downloader). That said, the more people who make use of Classilla, the more incentive the developer (and friends) will have to maintain it and the more webmasters will be more inclined to make sure their pages render correctly in it: http://www.transcorp.com/v4/images/classilla-badge.jpg Version 9.3.2 (released just a couple of weeks ago) is the tenth release of Classilla. If anyone reading this hasn't tried it already, please believe me when I tell you that it helps to give relatively slow G3 machines a new lease on life when it comes to surfing the modern web. If you try Classilla and like it, please consider shooting the developer an email via the floodgap.com site letting him know how much you appreciate the time and effort he and the other programmers have put into writing and maintaining Classilla. As you can probably guess, keeping Classilla going (the next version, 9.3.3, has an ETA of Q2 of this year) requires a Herculean effort since it is written and maintained by a fairly small (and unpaid) group of people.
