Web browser for OS X 10.2.8 — #2

It makes me wonder why, if Opera can turn out an up to date browser that does not require Tiger, why can't anyone else? Click to expand... Because they do.... Code: MAC…

Replacing Power Macintosh 5500 hard drive — #7

Replacing Power Macintosh 5500 hard drive — #5

Nope, just push up on the tab and pull out. It's possible that the hard drive was never touched, and after 10 years, it might take some force to get it out. Click to expand... …
