I still use Sun systems manufactured in 1992 (but retiring it soon,
despite its average 450 day uptimes) and 1996, though the bulk of mine
are 2000s vintage in all of PC, Linux, Mac, and UNIX.

I still web browse on the 1996 Sun box sometimes.

It has browsers available which are significantly newer than Netscape
4.78, however...
