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.

I'm working on the last versions of OmniWeb but they require me to install
many things from CD which I'm not about to do at half midnight since I've
got to be up in 5 or 6 hours......curse this 'work' thing - why can't we
be paid handsomely for preserving ye olde silicon of yore?!

But I suspect that if I changed my name by deed poll to 'Sellam Ismail',
it wouldn't help.
It's not easy being me.
