I've been wondering if I should try the Macintosh version of

Has anybody had any experience of using SeaMonkey on Mac? Any forums or
blogs you can point me to?
Seamonkey works very well on a Mac, however if you are running 10.5.6 on
a PPC Mac you will be limited to version 1.1.19 for an official build.
The latest OEM releases are Intel only.
There are a third party PPC releases of current versions of Seamonkey,
but I don't have any experience with them. Available here, if that's
what you're looking at -

Personally, I quite dealing with beta releases after a particularly
destructive experience in updating from a 1.1.x version while evaluating
one...but hopefully that's resolved by now. Hopefully...
He said MacBook. PPC was in PowerBook
GW
...but he's running 10.5.6, so I have to assume he's on a PPC machine.
And I'd suggest he at least update to 10.5.8.
Which, actually, is what I have. Sorry for the mistake.
However, I can't use the latest version on 10.5.8. What's the newest usable
version for Mac OS X 10.5.8? (I just can't get used to those big-cat
names.)
The main question is if you are running 10.5.8 on a PPC Mac, like I am
on my G5 iMac - in that case it's 1.1.19 as far as the official releases go.
If it's 10.5.8 on an Intel Mac then anything up to and including 2.17
should run. I think...
