How does one use a web browser to build OS, or browser patches? -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konny, with the Lion and the Drum

Equally, if you don't ever install any of these patches, you will not suffer from any of the new potential vulnerabilities, but you will also never experience any of the (equally "potential") benefits, either. > > Somewhere along the line since EOL, these people lost track of what >they hoped to accomplish, keeping 9X alive... that requires someone >actually test and NOT JUST FOR INSTALLATION, and creation of NEW >browsers and malware programs... > As I've said before, they can choose to preserve in aspic their 98 system as it was at the instant of EOL, or they can choose to take potential risks for potential benefits. It's their choice. If they choose the latter, they can be reassured to whatever extent they trust 98g, and worried to whatever extent they believe you. -- J. P. Gilliver.
