Is there a web browser compatible with Windows 2?
-
@Tsaukpaetra Ask @Lorne-Kates. I'm sure he'll know.

@Tsaukpaetra Can't be too hard to make one, if it has a functioning TCP/IP stack... just request a page, get result, strip all <tag>s and show as plain text.
Hurry! Now that there are still non-encrypted websites.

You didn't need 3.11 (I remember getting online with telnet and ftp from 3.1) but you really did want to have a 32-bit processor so you could have enough space to load the network driver and some ordinary programs at the same time!

Man, makes me want to timecapsule a PC from today and have it opened in 30 years.
Probably won't survive though...
