    Yeah. I too have had some great times with Microsoft browsers over the years…

    Downloading Firefox, downloading Opera, downloading Chromium, downloading Firefox again.

    Yeah, I’ve made some great memories with Microsoft browsers.

      At least there’s a route to use Microsoft’s browser and other software they bundle to get another browser on the system.

      I remember on the classic Mac, Apple didn’t bundle a decompression program for quite some time. Files on the Mac didn’t just consist of a single lump of data, but could also have a resource fork, which had structured data. Executables were a format that had to have data in that resource fork. Which meant that you had a boostrapping problem – you had no executable on the computer that could download and reconstruct a usable executable, so you first needed to obtain – on some form of removable media – software, like Stuffit Expander or similar – capable of constructing an executable from downloaded data.
