Ancient or Not?

[Shadow121]

I was at mah grannies over memorial day weekend And I was rummaging around a box of CDs when I came across "Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Installation CD" Old or what?

 

[Smith6612]

That's old LOL. Probably back from Windows 98 or 95. Find any IE 2.0 disks there?

 

[Shadow121]

haha Nope

That's cool. Save that CD for a couple more decades and should be a collector's item. Lol

 

[Zangetsu]

[galen]

[fempower]

LOL very old. I've got some 5 1/4 floppies and programs for the Apple II.

Actually, you used to have to pay for browsers. Not to mention, a lot of the old dial-up companies (like Prodigy) had their own browsers. Microsoft decided that the internet would be better if everyone was able to get it for free - and how the world has changed.

Not quite - Micro$haft decided if it could give away a free browser, they could eliminate all competition, and get a stranglehold on the market.

Internet Explorer all the way!!! But that's an ancient version, Internet back then must have been really terrible.
