I've never used xPostfacto and never intend to, what with B+W G3's being readily available for reasonable prices, and OS X runs great on them > And have been having more > trouble than usual on some web sites that apparently require newer browsers > than OS 9.2.2 can provide, in particular my online banking bill paying site. I use Safari 2 on a B+W, and Foxfire for other items; others have also indicated Opera and Camino are good; heck, I use iCab on my beige G3 running OS 9.2.2, and I've paid bills with that - all have, imho, beat the pants off IE, any version, hands down. When I log onto the Comcast home site w/ IE 5.2.3, I get a "you need to upgrade your browser" message as you speak of. I do the same with any of the other above-mentioned browsers, it reads all (including the video) like a "piece of cake". > Practically goes psycho on me and I have to go to the dark side (booo > hissssss) to pay a lot of my bills online at that site, which is really > convenient!!!
