I think I will try SeaMonkey on my XP partition. I almost never go on line with Windows but I will give it a try.

We see classic cars on the road in the summer time, why not classic computer operating systems surfing the Internet?
I need historic plates for my computer, maybe Hagerty will insure it.

I installed SeaMonkey and clicked around a bit. Watched a youtube video. Seemed good. So far I did not see a way to import favorites and stuff. Since I dont remember all my passwords I am back on my linux now.

I can get Win 7 Professional is available in a "System Builder DVD" Includes Full OEM Version with DVD and COA
What is a Builder DVD? I have a great computer running Vista 64 bit with 8 gig memory and a decent hard drive. Can I just wipe the hard drive and install from scratch?

I know a couple people that still run Windows 98...
Granted the one laptop I have it on didn't see the male end of an Ethernet cable.

I would do the install "off-line" and be sure to turn off any auto updates before going inline. Otherwise it will nag you to eternity about upgrading to Win10. Also, the standard stuff; back up all your documents, shortcuts, programs, etc. Last edited by 911_Dude; 03-11-2017 at 04:09 AM.. |

If you are open to linux, download LiLI. (google it). You can burn the Linux to a flash drive and boot from it. Lots of versions out there.(Distrowatch.com) FREE. Find one you like and install . Mint is a lot like Windows and easy to learn. Does way more than I need. Tahrpup is perfect in my opinion.

Thanks Jack but I need an answer to my question:
What is a Builder DVD? I have a great computer running Vista 64 bit with 8 gig memory and a decent hard drive. Can I just wipe the hard drive and install from scratch? Surely some knows about this?

I loaded Opera on my Momz brick. She gets a new IBM in July for her birthday. Opera does the job for her....
