text: can i use old internet browsers like compuserve for free? why aren't old browsers free. is their a way to log on to the old version of compuserve? why you want to use old browser?  it does not make much sense because now a days websites are designed based on many features that are not supported in many old browsers.  my suggestion is to get opera(www.opera.com). the best browser ever with best security record.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/comparison_of_web_browsers#vulnerabilities)
