Btw, Apps: Don't even think about running any
browser under anything
older than OS X 10.3.9. Most sites nowadays use HTML-features, old
browsers just don't understand. Either they look crappy or some
JavaScript crashes Netcrap or Internet Exploder. Most don't understand
PNG-Graphics. I won't even talk of NCSA Mosaic or some text-only
browsers. (I did not test iCab recently.) And if that's not enough,
running Netcrab 4.5 even on a PMac 7100/66 is painfully slow compared
to what I'm used to from my main Mac (Dual PMac G5 at 2GHz). And this
machine is also a few years old...
*cough*Classilla*cough*
Though in fairness I'm targetting it to mobile sites, which work very
well on that class of machines. My PowerBook 1400 does quite nicely on
mobile CNN, for example.
