Now I'm just fed up with all the current crap of software like Adobe Flash and Java and it relatives and what have you they loaded into the websites.
I'll go back and use the win98 machine.
The computer that posting this is a Dell Inspiron from 2008 with Win Vista.
I already had my share of Win 8 and 8.1 on my friend laptop.It sucks.
Meantime I have no issues with this forum loading over here.It runs great with Firefox 36.Thanks.

Windows 8 is almost as big a pain in the ass (especially if you try to get used to using it with a tablet) as winSlows 98 IMHO.
Windows 7 IMHO is the best combo of user friendly and fast with XP in second place.
I'd highly recommend you try a Windows 7 64-bit machine with as many Gb of ram as you can get. It is about the best windows experience there is. That will smoothly run all that net software you dislike in a way that will make you like it.....Unless you still(!) have dialup....In which case may the god of the net have mercy on your soul....Most up to date-ish sites are so optimized to faster connections that trying to use them with dialup is like trying to play an LP or CED video disc on a windup victrola....
