For old Macs with limited RAM/Processor speed, which Web/Email apps are best? I'm running a Wallstreet with 256MB RAM, OS 10.4.4 Firefox seems to use 10mb less RAM but slightly mo…

Mutt and Pine (the only two text-based email clients I can think of) both support IMAP and Gmail (which is just POP3).

And for older Macs running older System / Mac OS versions you can rely on the iCab browser.

redhot, how in the world did you get Tiger to run on a Wallstreet? Isn't that essentially impossible?

Camino could be a good choice of browser to use, Gmail works well in it too if you don't mind using the web interface.

I wrote extensively about my experiences installing Tiger on a Wallstreet. I think Tiger is the best OS for these old machines, bar none. As for which browser to use on a Wallstr…

Since you're running Tiger it's not a big deal, but one thing to consider is that ealier versions of OS X came with earlier versions of Safari, which are obviously not as widely co…

That's really amazing. . . If so many are running Tiger well on their Wallstreets, it really inspires me to get a larger drive for my iBook 466 and upgrade to Tiger as well.

Yes, I honestly believe that many people put way too much emphasis on "needing" a faster (re: newer = more $$$) machine in order to run their everyday software efficiently. I purc…

I agree. Mhz is not everything. I usually get 6-8 years out of each Mac i buy (been using them since 1984, and Apple ][’s since 1979). I still have some Quadra 605’s running Ope…

I have been using the G3-optimized version of Deerpark on my Pismo. After reinstalling the OS (had to partition the drive to put Ubuntu on there) I didn't find any speed difference…

I've been waiting for the Logitech v400 Notebook mouse since November. Does anyone have any idea when they might actually release it? I am so tempted to buy the v500 but if the v40…

Well, with all the waiting I went and bought a Imac, now I am thinking about returning it and buying a MBP. I upgraded the RAM to 1 gig total, will the 512mb stick fit in the MBP …

Yes, the memory is the same.

I was going to say that you wouldn't be able to use the memory because portables usually use SO-DIMMs while desktop machines do not, but it does seem to be that they use the same m…

I bought an Intel iMac DIMM on eBay (it was the original RAM that came in the iMac, the seller had replaced it). It's definitly a SO-DIMM, and identical in all specs to the Crucial…

I'm working on an informal newspaper/newsletter right now and we're looking at various printing options. I was wondering if there existed reams of 8.5x11 paper that is similar to n…

If you go to your local newspaper print centre they will give you the end of the paper reel. They will go through dozens of reels each day. Just cut the paper to size.

Go to an art store and buy a newsprint sketchpad and cut it to size.

He needs reams full - I don't think manual cutting is an option. I would contact a paper company and see if they have seen anything

Okay guys, this prediction sounds pretty wacky, but work with me here: 1. Go to apple.com/macosx/; 2. Take a look at the page and think about what the headline implies. If you'r…
