Browser for Arabic websites

Thanks Andreas ,

Sad as it is my Mac hardware limitation is OS 8.6 (PB 3400c).
Have it since 1996. My two kids learned computer skills with it.
Never had to reinstall the OS, just one upgrade from 7.5 to 8.6.

Other than PC games & Arabic web surfing there is nothing I can
do with my recent PC that I can't do with my Mac.

Will give a try to Mozilla

A+

There is no hardware limitation. Any Macintosh that can run Mac OS 8.6
can run Mac OS 9.1.

I have OS 9.1 CD, and I recall trying to install it once.
Got a message to the extent :
" This OS can not be installed on this machine..."
Never tried since.

Hummm I'd like to upgrade, but what will I gain over 8.6 since I will be
using the same softwares I now have running ?

It is trying to tell you that *that* particular OS, on *that* CD cannot
be installed on *that* particular Mac because the CD was meant for
another *particular* model. You need a generic OS 9 CD. You can probably
get it at eBay or some place like that. (OS 9.1 would be best, else get
OS 9 and download the free update to 9.1 from Apple.)

Better Open Transport (the system's network software) for one thing, if
memory serves me right.

Some software needed an upgrade for OS 9.
