Don't program for an obsolete, insecure browser.

It was a pretty accurate emulation :)
More seriously - I'm pretty sure you could emulate an OS like CP/M
or even an early Unix in a browser and have it run fairly well, perhaps
even faster than the original hardware.

What's the big deal? Display a blue screen and lock the machine.

If someone could make websites a joy to use, they'd get my vote. With
many sites I find myself endlessly following links none of which take me
where I want to go. IBM's search facility seems practically guaranteed
to return the results in inverse order of usefulness.
