[Radio]

Firefox was up until a few months ago my browser of choice. Then they decided to no longer support Windows 2000, which is the OS on my primary radio station machine, and the one I use to support ORR.net.

I built that computer myself from used stuff people gave me. And it still runs along at 1 GHz with 1/2 Gig of RAM. Plenty for what I do with it.

Time for a new browser that runs on old machines.

Firefox recommends Opera software's free browser by the same name. I'm running Opera now on the main system and my 8 year old Panasonic Toughbook CF-50, also a Win2K machine.

There does not seem to be any need for plug ins, although many are available. I like the "zoom" feature which allows old eyes to use the laptop with ease. I like the way the spell checker works and the tabs and panels features similar to the latest stuff you get with IE or Firefox. It seems to run a little faster that Firefox v12, the last version supporting win2k.

So if you are in need of an updated, free, legacy supporting browser, you might try Opera.
