There's not a whole lot of interest in making Windows 9x run well on QEMU. These days especially, it's better to just use 86Box for those operating systems.

That's a graphics driver problem. Fairly common to see when running Windows 9x/Me under QEMU.

One nit about the site: the screen elements forced me to make my browser window more than half the size of my screen, and I use a 3840×2160 monitor. My windows are normally about ⅕ the size of the screen and roughly 4:3 ratio shaped. It was

Don't confuse "simple and good" with "flawless" :-) There are indeed only a few private-reserved IPv4 ranges, and almost everyone prefers to keep things memorable and easy to type; you get a lot of 10.0.0.0/24,
