Yeh! Seems like just yesterday that Camino worked. But thanks to your efforts can actually reply to this on the same Mac was using then!
BTW - a "Kernel" of joy for your OS9 fans -
My OpenGL drivers were messed-up and I would get a kernel panic every time I opened a demanding screen-saver or game. Tried some OpenGL games in OS9 and realized my Graphics card was fine, so had to be the kernel extensions (corruptions?). Anyway, this is normally a situation where you have to reinstall the system, because these have very specialized permissions.
WELL - or you could just go into OS9 and drag-copy/replace with an earlier backup. Worked PERFECTLY!!! "We don't need no stinking permissions!"
Some special PowerPC love to TenFourFoxBox! FoxBox makes a WORLD of difference in Comcast's webmail. It is difficult to use in the browser on my G4, but a FoxBox actually makes it enjoyable - fast to load, responsive, drastically reduces lag. Simply awesome!
Happy Birthday, and thanks for all the efforts!
ReplyDeleteIt's been an excellent 8 year ride, Cameron. Many thanks!
