Not really a G-book but close.....
My sister has just come across a 200 Mhz 3400 with 80 Mb RAM and a
2 Gb hard drive.
She wants to do word processing, e-mail (with wireless card), light
web browsing and music downloading.
I suggested that music downloading wouldn't make sense with such a
small hard drive but that the other tasks should be possible.
I have a YDI diamond 802.11b card that works in a wallstreet or
Lombard with the stock Apple Airport extensions. Not sure if it will
work with the airport extensions in OS 8.6.
Questions:
Which OS, I'm thinking 8.6 or 9.1
Which browser?
Which e-mail client?
Thanks

technology is the answer, what was the question?
Might as well go 9.1 for compatibility with some later browsers
(IIRC). For browsers, Netscape 4.78 would be the fastest, but least
compatible. Opera 6.03 is a compromise (but it isnt fast), and
Mozilla builds are the most compat. but the slowest.
Eudora Light is free and fast and easy.
