    Hey,


    HotHTML 3 is almost completed! and so it was time to put it into some additional testing before closing the QA month, and what better way that installing a copy of Windows 95(A) and 95(B) [havent got any legal copies of the later vesrions] and see if my baby works, after playing around with CD-ROM drivers not being found, CD not booting and skipping alot of attempts to install various drivers(no CD-ROM after setup reboots!) i finally hack my way to getting all the incomplete VXD's and etc installed via XCopy (VirtualPC -> PC -> CAB Files -> PC -> VirtualPC) i find that its got IE v3.0 installed, no 'shdocvw.dll' in IE3 so i spent a few hours looking for IE4... I dont keep older version CDs i got with ISP Installations handy with me...


    and i came across this fabulous site:
    http://browsers.evolt.org/


    Its got ALL the major browsers (and some that i've never even heard of like an Internet Explorer by some other company) archived. ITS VERY USEFUL for folks that want to test their sites or software in different browsers(mostly older). Or if you want to go back to the 'good old days' of web browsers...
