There is FF available for Warp 4.5 (I think it's FF 3.5), I just didn't have time to install all of the dependencies when there's Oracle to fix, Perl to rewrite, and student info to import into the tutoring system. NS 4.6 is what shipped in the add-on CD to Warp 4.5, in addition to the IBM browser... which I haven't tried yet and probably stinks.

But someday, I will get it there... someday...

I used to run Warp 4, back in '99. I think that was on my k6-III. I had to patch the boot floppies to handle the faster processor. :)

first job out of college was with IBM.. I still have one of my old laptops thinkpad 750 w/ windows 3.1, still runs to this day. Had some cool features for its time, like a pop up keyboard, where you could fast swap out the hard drive, pretty cool for early 90's.
