I didn't have enough memory to use FF on Win98, that
was a strike against it back then. I did things people
here said couldn't be done on 40MB of RAM. Sure more
would have been better but there was nothing I wanted
to do that I didn't do.
IE ran fine on Win98 - that was one good benefit for IE.
Tried FF with Vista and didn't care for it.
Never got around to trying Sea Monkey. Will keep it in
mind.
