is Mac really an answer?

[gump420]

I've heard good things about the performance of Panther on G3 machines.  Of course, you'll have to pay for the upgrade . . .

Oh, and Apple likes to tout Office v.X because they seem to be focusing on business markets where M$ presence is the strongest.  Naturally they are targeting consumers also, but every computer company wants part of that pie.

Mmmmm . . . pie . . .

just between the two of us... Panther is GOOOOOOOOD on the G3. Vid. performance is greatly improved. I'm liking it so far! I think I will in fact, pay 'em again for it.

if it works on g3s as well you guys make it sound then maybe I can get my dad to steal a copy of it from work....

You can remove IE completely. BTW, the newest release of OS X doesn't even include IE (I think), and MS stopped developing IE for the Mac, so don't worry. Safari is a great browser.

And yes, you can easily use your Mac without any Microsoft software.

     

why the fuck would apple want anything fucking Micro$hit sold on their platform

The Mac version and the Win32 version seem alike only in name. They both crash about the same though. Sadly it's the most modern browser I can run under Mac OS 8.1

what????????
i am certain you can get a more recent version of Mozilla to run than you can get of IE for that platform. have a look at this list of browsers, i am certain that IE is not the most recent browser for Mac OS 8, i just can't believe it.

Try Cyberdog. It's been designed specially for Mac OS 8.1 by Apple.

All versions of Mozilla I've tracked down require CarbonLib versions newer than the one 8.1 can run. I am incapable of running a lot of software unless I can find an 8.5 upgrade CD.

Let this be a lesson to the rest of you: When Apple charges $150 for an operating system upgrade, buy.

Ravuya, send me an email. I have 8.5 on CD and don't have a use for it anymore.
