I recently tried to get a browser for my Win 3.11 test box and found microsoft doesnt have it for download anymore (I had to hunt around the net to find a copy and it wasnt easy). I use MS IE for all my macs 68k and PPC because they are more stable then netscape. So if microsoft decides to remove all IE for older macs from their site and makes others do the same we will have a major problem. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
