If someone could make websites a joy to use, they'd get my vote. With
many sites I find myself endlessly following links none of which take me
where I want to go. IBM's search facility seems practically guaranteed
to return the results in inverse order of usefulness.

Don't program for an obsolete, insecure browser.

It was a pretty accurate emulation :)

More seriously - I'm pretty sure you could emulate an OS like CP/M
or even an early Unix in a browser and have it run fairly well, perhaps
even faster than the original hardware.

Yes, but windoze isn't an OS, either.

I prefer the "working" Linux in a browser:

http://bellard.org/jslinux/

It's much more usable, and can actually run Linux console apps. Best runs on Chrome, but works in mostly any HTML5 compatible browser. :)

Uhh.... yeah?

The emulator runs "lose.exe" instead of "win.com"; I thought it was
kinda obvious...

ha ha very funny.

[s***@yahoo.com]

Very good the fact an emulator can run Windows 95, but Google Chrome, IE, and Firefox keep blocking it for some reason. I change the settings a bit, but the browsers STILL block the website when I try to load up to it! I see no reason why this website should be blocked; please tell me why these browsers still do!
