"Comfortably use" my eye. Web browsers have always been bulky by the standards of their day. I remember using IRIX on a 64MB SGI Indy and cursing. It thrashed swap furiously with Netscape 4. Today's agony always seems new and fresh, but it never is. I still have some of those old systems sitting around to remind me. The "good old days" were pretty miserable. Today I have Linux and Firefox and the exact same problems -- in 1G of RAM, which is a comparably low-spec system today to what the Indy was back then. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
