Thanks, mucho for the feedback, guys.  Intuitively, I suspected this was likely 
the case, but didn't know for sure.  It only occurred to me that this might be 
a possibility when someone on the Swap List listed a "Wanted to Buy" for a G5 
Graphics Card, which is also a PCI-X card for Macs.  OTOH Apparently I can use 
this card in one of the other PCI-X slots in the Mac Pro Tower.  I don't know 
if this would allow for an expanded desktop or simply a mirror of the primary 
desktop.

I like the Macally IceKey, however it has been replaced by the
IceKey2, priced at about $30.     I have
not tried the second version.

I have also been happy with Matias' Mac oriented USB 2 keyboard/mouse
bundles for $30 - $40, even though they are their inexpensive membrane
keyboards and not their clicky keyswitch premium boards.The USB2 port is kind of nice, although it
causes the keyboards to have two cables.

That makes sense, since I generally like Logitech devices as well, although
they've gotten a bit rough at times. I presume Microsoft only picks the ones
they like to rebadge.

Which is to say "Logitech's keyboards and mice have always been high quality" 
as I believe Logitech is Microsoft's OEM. At the very least they used to be.

You could try comparing it with TenFourFox. If TenFourFox 17 isn't having
the same problem (the code is similar, but rewritten for 10.4), then it's
an AuroraFox specific bug and you should probably report it to Tobias.

I have generally liked Microsoft hardware. My preferred mouse is a Microsoft
Laser Mouse 6000, which "just works" with 10.4. Never had a lot good to
say about their operating systems, but their keyboards and mice have always
been high quality.

I've been using a Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard since 2006, with a
Powermac G4 DA and a Powermac G5 2.7 DP, and it's working flawlessly.
It's made for Windows' PC (has Windows keys), but I can remap those keys to
equivalent Mac ones using System Preferences.
Besides, Microsoft offer a driver for OSX, for programming media and user
keys.

Lastly, the Macs recognize startup sequences (like Command-S for single user
mode and Command-Option-P-R for resetting Pram) from this keyboard, as long
as it's connected to the Mac USB port (it might not work when connected to
an USB hub).

All in all, a good piece of hardware (as usually MS input devices are), that
is relatively cheap (it was 37 euros back then).

Sudden problems with AuroraFox on Leopard G5

2013-01-18 Thread arichic...@gmail.com 
Past few days I've tried to use AuroraFox 16 and its been beachballing
incessantly and then provoking a spindump---which I've managed to
disable. I thought it was simply time to upgrade, but, AuroraFox 17
and 20 are doing the same thing. I added no new addons, and no other
browser is giving me trouble, not even SeaMonkey with the same addons.
Anyone else having trouble? I wanted to stay on the latest AuroraFox
version which would let me easily use Flash {which is what, 17?]
