  for such a
modern browser. 
 How slow is it?  I Happen to run firefox on a P166 and also run it on
 a P100 and its ok, slow to start but then fine. 
The slab contains a 25mhz 68040 and mine has a staggering 8mb of RAM. I
think I'm asking too much of it :) 
That still has to be better than my first 386/16 machine with 4mb running
Win3.1 and Netscape!

...
 I'm working on the last versions of OmniWeb but
they require me to install
many things from CD which I'm not about to do at half midnight since I've
got to be up in 5 or 6 hours......curse this 'work' thing - why can't we
be paid handsomely for preserving ye olde silicon of yore?! 
That would be fine with me.  Then again my last job was exactly that,
keeping 20 desktops (fastest was P166) happy.
