I have not used IE 5 for consistently except at work for the past six months and haven't missed it at all. I've been using Camino (formerly Chimera) for the past six months and am wildly pleased. iCab works extremely well on 9.x. By the way, in regards to the evil empire there was an outstanding article in Salon about a intellectual property lawsuit from a company claiming that they owned the copy right to the Unix. They were demanding licensing fees from everyone to which everyone laughed except for one company...yes you guessed it. Microsoft paid them a ten million dollar licensing fee and supported their claim.
"The strategy is not entirely illogical, and SCO's efforts have met with some initial success. In mid-May, Microsoft, which considers Linux its main software rival, made headlines when it decided to purchase a Unix license from SCO. The sum Microsoft paid for the license was not disclosed but is thought to be around $10 million -- pocket change for Microsoft. Microsoft says it purchased the license "to ensure [intellectual property] compliance across Microsoft solutions," but many Linux advocates and industry observers view the move as an obvious flanking attack on its open-source competitor. The company denied any unseemly ulterior motives. "Our agreement with SCO is independent of any other industry action and solely designed for the benefit of our customers and our products," a spokesman said in an e-mail." You can find the article on Salon. I'm not sure if they require a subscription. I lean pretty far to the right politically (boo, hiss..), and Salon leans pretty far to the left, but I read it religiously because it's just so well written. And the articles are soooooooo good. So, if you want to give them the twenty bucks for a subscription it's really money well spent. And no, my mother doesn't work there.... :> I also realize that I am now going off on a tangent regarding politics, the evil empire which really has nothing to do with G3 powerbooks so I'm going to stop now. And if the web list nanny wants to stop this string right now I won't be offended.
