OOF is one of the only sites that works on my old NT4 Pc ;D
I'm surprised it does TBH. I think IE4 was the lastest for NT4 from ancient memory, with other options being Netscape 4/5 and the original, non Gecko based, Mozilla?

Hummm. My garage PC runs XP, I use Chrome on it.
Can't you up it to a sensible version of Windows, or is the hardware that old?

My garage PC runs W10 (using MS's freebie upgrade), but is quite an old OptiPlex from Core2 era. Its got, I think, 2Gb RAM and a 240Gb SSD, and runs W10 well enough :y - I fitted the SSD for reliability than performance (although the performance is very welcome), as I wasn't convinced that going from freezing to 40C in 10 mins was going to do a traditional HDD any favours  :-\

I'd have to double check, I think it maybe a first generation Duo Core1  :-\

It still has all it's local network server storage config  ;D

Left over stock from company I joined fresh from Uni, I left to join Sky, but contracted back for a while after the American's destroyed the company. I basically emptied the server room into the boot of my car  ;D

So think its a 2005/6 ish year IBM tower.

Yeah, I'd spend £20 on a half usable desktop and bin that.  Your electricity meter will thank you as well ;D

Doubt an IBM server from that era would use a desktop chip, sure it ain't Xeon?
