I run I-Cab on my 5500 and I don't think I've ever hit a site that didn't work... Best of all, the virus and pop-up attempts bounce off like a softball hitting my Saturn... It's great having a reliable computer sitting next to my PC... :)
DaveP in Ohio Quadra 650/PowerMac 5400/PowerMac 5500 and way too many PCs... -----Original Message----- From: PCI PowerMacs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geneva G. Evans Sent: Saturday, May 14, 2005 10:55 PM To: PCI PowerMacs Subject: Re: [PCI] 5500 and internet problems Dear Anthony, I am using a Power Mac 6500 with a G-3 400 upgraded Processor. I have the same problem sometimes. The problem is with Internet Explorer, I am convinced. Someone suggested that I might have blocked IE from placing "cookies" therefore the wanted Web site would not load. This is not the case as I actually checked the "accept all cookies" square a long time ago. My ISP has actually contracted with Yahoo for mail, etc. services & therein lies another can of worms. I live in Sunnyvale, Yahoo's "home" & I feel like "beating their door (on their very impressive building) down sometimes & asking their engineers to "fish or cut bait" with their programs. As you know, most corporations cater to Microsoft users & Mac people sometimes have problems with company sites, software, etc. geared to a "Windows World" even though they may be running programs designated "for Macs". I have been in Silicon Valley long before it WAS Silicon Valley & have watched the whole industry rise from a few pioneers. I worked for the corporation that financed most of them "in the beginning" LOL Anyway, if you find a workable answer, please post it. I am convinced that the biggest part of the problem is with Internet Explorer.
