Re: *Jaguar question

Don't go trashin' your OS9 quite yet. I have a wallstreet II 233 with 320 megs of ram and no matter how hard i try to convince myself that speed isn't everything i still have to go back to OS9 as jaguar is just too darn slow. I wish it wasn't the case but until i upgrade the processor or buy a

I'm looking to buy a used PowerBook, low-end of G3's minimum if possible or equivalent (603's), sufficient enough to browse the web, for e-mailing and word-processing... I would like to do graphics too for my website but I won't be doing powerful heavy-duty graphics works... I can spend up to $5

Hi, J.B. Running 10.2.2 here on my Lombard 333 w/512MB RAM. Works remarkably well, unless you want to count things like scrolling speed in a long document or playing full-screen QuickTime movies. Anything video intensive is going to be slow, due to non-support of video acceleration. Things als
