Do you know if I can run internet explorer on my > mirror door G4's if I upgrade them to OS 10.5? Can you get into Excite with IE right now? AFAIK, IE was never released for OS X. and since 10.5 does not run classic, you are probably out of luck. I went to excite.com and the site would not load with IE 5.2 in classic under 10.4. First error was about needing Flash, and there is no easy download of Flash for OS 9. I don't know if they even made it for 9. However, a handy feature in Safari (version 4.0.3 in 10.4.11) is the ability to tell web sites it is another browser. I am 99.99% certain that Safari under 10.5 can do the same thing. I set the User Agent on the Develop menu to tell web sites that it is actually IE 8.0 and Excite loaded fine, but I do not know if you can do what you need to do that way, but it is worth a try.
