However, on a 3400c, running system 7, Cyberdog, in my opinion, has to be
the best I've yet seen. Maybe some pages look retarded (Low End Mac won't
even load for some reason, but its stable, fast, stable, stable, and
stable.
*cough* Don't hold your breath... ;-)

I've found that OpenDoc/Cybie leaks memory like crazy. But then again, I was often using it for web, ftp, telnet, and email all at the same time.

I used it virtually exclusively for telnet and email while in college - that was on OS 9.1 and 8.6 on a Wallstreet and a Beige G3. It works fine if you install OpenDoc, but OpenDoc was deprecated after OS 8. (Parts of it still rear their ugly head in SOMobjects - It's too bad that Apple and IBM dropped it - it would have knocked the teeth out the back of MicroSoft's OLE's head!)

Anyway, I strongly disagree that Cyberdog is even a decent web browser. The interface is clunky at best, and the feature set of the browser portion is dismal - it renders tables (TABLES! Even NN 2 got tables more or less right!) poorly, doesn't like frames, hates javascript and virtually every new HTML-related technology since 1996. Nestcape Navigator 2 would be a better choice, in my book.

For email, though, it's pretty awesome - it's certainly one of the best _free_ solutions out there. Eudora (if you can deal with the stupid ads) is better (but then there's the ads). If you want to pay, PowerMail is far and away the BEST email client I've ever used! And I've used lots of email clients from Tin and Pine to OS X's Mail.

Peace,
Drew
