You may need to update the Flash player plugin, though the most recent one that you can use, probably v9, is outdated. Any G3 is not going to handle Flash video very well, even some G4s struggle with Flash video. Ubuntu does not officially support Power PC anymore, but there are unofficial builds for PPC, though you'll likely need an older build for a G3. Not everything will work though, for instance there is no Flash player build for PPC. There is a Mac section in the Ubuntu forums that is a good source of information about PPC Ubuntu. Also if you find a build that will run on your G3 iMac you might want to try one of the lighter desktops like XFCE, the Gnome KDE desktops are more system intensive. There are also lighter linux builds such as Puppy linux but I don't know if any of them support PPC.

This is an age-old annoyance. Web sites should query the browser to ask it if it supports a specific technology. Instead they just check the overall version of the browser, then tell the user to get lost... Sites such as YouTube require newer versions of Flash or an h.264 codec. Email sites often require better JavaScript or perhaps HTML 5 features. Christopher's suggestion of trying an alternative browser is good. But TenFourFox - a build of the latest Mozilla Firefox that will run on Tiger, won't help you. Instead reach for Classilla - an updated build of WaMCom Mozilla, done by the same guy. http://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/ Here are builds of Camino and more Firefox, that will run on Panther: http://www.rpm-mozilla.org.uk/index.html HTH, - Dan. - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Try downloading Ten Four Fox, it'll run on that OS (I believe) and also won't have that message. -- C:\win Bad Command Or File Name C:\ -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
