I upgraded my browser recently. It's really amazing what you can do with this things, reaching people on the other side of the planet and all that.
Elinks, Lynx, or w3m?
elinks. Out of those, w3m is the only one I actually use from time to time, but it's not pretty enough for posing with it. 
Firefox
Been using Google lately, since Firefox is taking longer to load.
Interesting you should mention that. My PC is a bit older, still using XP, and the latest FF (34) constantly crashed on me, literally every 5-15 min. So I rolled back to and earlier save point in System Restore, then installed v28 and that seemed to fix it. But I just noticed it's automatically upgraded itself back to 34, but not crashing. So it might not have been FF There was also problems with Flash, security upgrade or something. It's weird - it's now running as smooth as. But I've been having trouble for months, especially as detailed in a certain QS&F thread. And now it's all fine.
Anyway, yes, FF.
Anyway, yes, FF.
I've monkeyed with all three a bit, but only out of curiosity. Though they are a wonderful way to avoid ads.elinks. Out of those, w3m is the only one I actually use from time to time, but it's not pretty enough for posing with it.
Must have Mosaic somewhere... just need to figure out which of the 60+ machines I have its installed on... same for Netscape.. on most modern machines its Firefox portable on some older machines an antique version of Opera on Linux machines it varies, got an old machine running Puppy Linux which also has some version of Lynx/eLinks.. can't believe that my 486DX2 66 is now more than 20 years old... 
I still use wget quite regularly.

Feels weird, doesn't it? I still remember getting my hands on a Pentium 60, and thinking how badass it was (which it was... at the time).
The first machine that was really mine is a 1987 IBM PS/2 Model 30 a 8086 8Mhz machine with 640K RAM, MCGA graphics, monochrome screeen and two 720Kb floppy drives for storage, the thing is still working
back then it was AWESOME!
That ought to be enough for anybody. Or at least so IBM thought.
Don't get me wrong, at the moment, yes, that machine is beyond obsolete, but back then? the one I bought was used by a company, it was strapped into a token ring network so it could access programs and files and do kinda exactly the same what office machines do nowadays. 
Well, not the same. The new office machines are making you wait forever at a faster rate.

Sure. Windows 7 is still the best.Similar threads
