I use an old 386 and Arachne for email and very occasional browsing.

I use Win98 and Firefox for browsing now. It's faster, more robust.
Handles everything I run into without problems. (IE was mostly unusable
on the same machine because of pop-ups and trojan horses and other
crap)

Win98 crashes once a day if I let it run that long.

Arachne crashes once in awhile with truncated files or FAT problems
that scandisk fixes.
