well, I didn't need to read the link to know that I was using netscape and aol just fine on win95. they didn't prevent anything except the full and complete removal of iexplorer. which at the time was made some sense on thier part as the internet was still very young, and it was based upon explorer (the file browser)
while were on ancient history and back on topic, iphone's dumb.
