    Could it be 26 as in 2600, as the Apple II was one of the first hackable computers that was easy to get? (I'll subscribe if I can get articles that are 2574 years into the future!)

    I'll assume that you've got a Windows box if you're using ApplePC 2.52B...

    You might want to try Apple II Oasis for Windows. It's pretty fast on a 486 or up. It is shareware, but it seems like the Opera of Apple II Emulators. Closed source, pretty small, works with 99.9% of disk images, and is rather powerful (it's the emu of choice for Apple II programmers, because it's got good disk image management and transfer tools).

    Think 1000 times faster. I've used Apple II Oasis, and combined with Windows (XP) bloat and Windows (any version) bloat, it's not 2000 times faster.

    IE6 SP1 is faster than Mozilla 1.3.1 on a Celeron 2.0 GHz with 256MB RAM. Opera 7.11 is faster than IE6 SP1 on the same system. (running WinXP SP1). I haven't tried Mozilla on my old laptop, but IE5.5 SP1 isn't horribly slow (considering that the laptop is a P75 with 16MB RAM on Win95B). Opera 6.05 is slower starting up on that system, but runs MUCH faster.

    December 31, 2004 (AP, Redmond, WA) - Microsoft Corp. announced today that they were completely discontinuing support for their Microsoft Windows ME operating system . One was quoted as saying, "Now that they've left ME alone, can they leave me alone?" The recommended Microsoft alternative to Windows ME is Microsoft Windows Longhorn. During the announcement, Microsoft announced that the current version of their Internet Explorer product is not available for other versions of Windows as of today. Open source advocates are suggesting that you switch to another operating system (I.E., Linux, FreeBSD, or Mac OS 12) and another Internet browser (I.E., Mozilla/Pheonix/Firebird/CometBrowser comet systems bought mozilla? BASTARDS!, Opera, Konqueror/Safari, or Galeon). Microsoft strongly recommends NOT following their directions, even though (must scratch borg implant), I mean, because these other operating systems are evil.

    Opera 7.11 Windows is out of beta. It has the exact same problem. (It doesn't seem to really matter what I have the UA string set to)

    Here's an idea that might work, however. Rather than rapidly switching the UA string (on F12), why not swap out with an IE or Mozilla rendering core? Both are possible (MSHTML.DLL wrapper and Mozilla MFC embedding), and would provide seamless (well, almost) compatibility with Opera.
