Hmmm, I think you might be surprised. :-) People who can't afford a
faster new computer, often also have no access to broadband internet.
And if you're not connected to the web all the time, webmail is very
limited.
Even if you use SeaMonkey ONLY as a web browser, it is still running
circles around Firefox 1.5, in my opinion. It appears that SeaMonkey
has a different code base (Mozilla) than Firefox, but looks and feels
very similar now. No matter how much they claim that Firefox is
"lightweight", a browser that doesn't run well on a computer with 128MB
RAM is anything but. SeaMonkey, on the other hand, has some older code,
which was written for older systems, and it seems that SeaMonkey is
lightweight and Firefox is bloated, albeit FF is more modern. I'm not
just speculating here, here's a bit more anecdotal evidence:

.
If not at all possible to include SeaMonkey, why not make a strong
suggestion in docs to use SeaMonkey? Most people should be able to
download and install the official binary release. Getting it into the
menu system and set up as default browser / email client is a bit more
difficult.
