Wooooh, hold up a moment. If I gave the imprison I am a expert in any way when it comes to bits and pieces to do with computing I am sorry for that. I am not. I know what I do and have done, yet joining the group here is to learn more. Opera and firefox sound like a singer and a helicopter, yet I can guess they have something to do either hardware of software!??? They dedicated the Mac books to me..... for Dummy's!
The situation here is that I have OSX on my blue and white all in one G3 not tower. However I can never be bothered to get out of Classic mode! However, After Yule I will be going over to OSX as Panther as my more souped up G3, that will come back a G4 , and all the 'modern' things most people have had for ages like DVD and a burner as a superdrive etc. I will then go to OSX on the G3 as well. Kind of forcing it as a decision! The StarMax 4000/200 gets retired from internet service and becomes a drawing machine, one only needs to draw so fast! Next I also have to contemplate connecting them all together. That is the two G3's one running as a G4, and the 'Max. This list will probably here form me next year then, ha! I have been with Macs since the classic came out, that wonder with a floppy. Out of all of the new computers we upgraded to in our business days the StarMax has been the most bullet proof machine I have. It seems hardly ever to complain whatever I torture it with. If It can not do it it just tells me to sod off! And yes I really am trying to find an exceptable alternative to ever having to use Microsofts Explorer. Opera or Firefox........... tell me more!
