I realize that Eric has already asked to end the NN4 is good/bad/forever
thread, but I felt the need to clarify a technical detail here (for those
non-mac users out there).
Chimera is a browser for OS X. Those with truly old hardware, or who have
stuck with OS9 for other purposes, don't have the option of using Chimera.
There is also *no* native OS X version of NN4, so to run it on a Mac running
OS X you either have to run the OS9 version under Classic or a Windows
version under Virtual OC. Each case, in my experience, is entirely too high
of a barrier to everyday use.
You can draw your own conclusions.
