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…

I have a set of Boston Acoustic BA4800 Computer speakers. The set is a very nice, beefy subwoofer, and 4 great sound satellites, 2 stands for the rear satellites. I would like to…

I'm looking for a good registrar for inexpensive. I have someone to host with, but they don't do registration. Can anyone recommend someone. Looking for $5-$10.

GoDaddy.

I use, and am a big fan of Omnis.com

I've just registered with GoDaddy - and so far it's been great. Very cheap, and they offer a private registration if you are an individual so you don't have to publish your home a…

I use MyDomain.com now. $8.50/year. They are a reseller for Dotster but have a bit cheaper price. *edit* Dotster is having a special. $5.99 / domain name. http://www.dotster.co…

Well being time limited is what makes a "special" a special... in the retail world that is.

For my main domains I use Godaddy and have been pretty satisfied. The Godaddy administrative interface is very nice. For my less important domains I like 1and1. It's highly rated, …

With Shaun White getting the Gold in mens halfpipe, I thought I'd make one. Enjoy available in 1600x1200, 1680x1050, and 1024x768. Get it at the sig. Ernie
