Final Reminder for those with old computers
« on: 16 September 2017, 15:10:01 »
As we've been warning about for some time now, older computers might not be able to view OOF effectively soon - in fact you may start to see page glitches from now, but will get worse over the coming days.

Examples of problematic devices include:
Windows XP running IE (mileage may vary using Firefox or Chrome)
Pre ICS Android devices
Pre Blackberry 10
Symbian (ie, Nokia before Microsoft bought them)
pre iOS 4 gayDevices (I believe all iPads are iOS 4 or later, as are all iPhone 4 and later)

Anybody running anything from approx. 2010 (late 2011 for Andoid, the slackers) should be OK. Anybody running XP needs shooting, as does anybody running Android pre KitKat.  Most iPhones and iPod Touch gayDevices can go to iOS4.

Anything that still supported by its manufacturer will be fine.

Fully patched Vista, Win7, Win8 or W10 running the latest browsers (ie, IE9 for Vista, IE11 for Win7/8/10, or Edge for Win10, or latest Firefox (or Chrome or Safari if you're a bit soft in the bounce)) will be fine, as will iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5/5S/6/6S/7, iPads, OSX versions still under Apple support, Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) or later on Android phones and tablets. Recent Linux versions should also be fine, as long as updated as per the distro's recommendations.

Ron.
By the time Win95 was launched, Windows NT 3.1 was already out. That showed the world what Windows could and should be - stable, secure, premptive multitasking. Win9x/Me was simply Windows 3.1 with a few more bits recompiled as 32bit, and a new UI.
