win95 and IEAK6.0

Wed Nov 21 19:51:32 UTC 2001

However there is no reason other than trying to force people to upgrade to
the newest Microsoft OS version to write this browser so that it would not
support windows 95 as well. Many of the rural users I deal with have
machines barely able to run Windows 95, and forget windows 98.  If I tell my
users they must upgrade their computers to use my service those users will
simply find another internet service.
