I helped a friend a while back. They were running software on Windows 95. This was in, I think 2013? Win95, yea, sigh.... yea. The new software was bundled with hardware and the vendor wanted 700K for it. We bought a desktop with serial ports, found a PCI Serial extender with Win95 support that also worked in VMWare, installed VMWare then made a virtual Win95 box, connected all the serial stuff, tested, and got it all working. We cheered when it all worked, let me tell you. Now they have a VMware file that they can move from hardware to hardware and just load the VM to get everything running again. Unfortunately with the new versions of VMWare they no longer support Win95, AS THEY FUCKING SHOULDN'T.

IE6? I'd charge double. I'd even consider charging triple.
