Thanks for pointing that out. However, I happen to like OS X; which is why I use Macs in the first place. The hardware at least used to be superior as well although that may have changed, but I am by now so thoroughly used to Mac OS that I am relatively unwilling to switch… Anyway; I’ll stop he

There are three rather critical pieces of software still being kept alive for PPC: Tenfourfox: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ (Firefox) Tenfourbird: http://tenfourbird.osdn.jp/ (Thunderbird) LibreOffic

The PowerPC/Tiger backport of FireFox that I installed on Mom's G4 is called "TenFourFox". I think there's also a "TenThreeFox". There are quite a few Classic programs that are actively maintained. >From time to time I get email from a user of Working Software's products, none of which ever ran

There have been plenty of times that the only Mac available to me for development has been my mother's Tiger G4 iMac. I was at least able to install a PowerPC backport of Firefox. What was most upsetting to me when I used it was that I often had to build my own tools from source, because the powe

Just to let it be known that there is at least one person in the universe very interested in PPC software… myself. I suspect I am not alone. Unfortunately I cannot volunteer my G5 dualie as I actually use that machine daily… I assume as buildbot it would have to live in some location you chose.

There is a simple service that anyone could set up, that I intended to do myself but presently am unable to: Use a script to randomly select anywhere from 10 to 100 packages, then do "sudo port install" for all of them, all at once. Quite likely that install will fail due to some problem with dep
