Hi folks,
Having got NEXTStep 3.3 and all the toys my mind naturally set about
wondering if I could compile Firefox on my slab, and having got as far as
'probably' I've decided the machine's probably not going to be fast
enough
for such a modern browser.
How slow is it? I Happen to run firefox on a P166 and also run it on
a P100 and its ok, slow to start but then fine.
This brings to mind the question of NEXTstep browsers,
and the realisation
that there's probably only one - OmniWeb, so I've downloaded 2.7b3 but
does anyone know if there are any other browsers or later versions of
OmniWeb?
Shame Offbyone (OB1) isn't availab;e for other platforms very fast
though very simple.
Allison
