Just laid out 50 Euros for a G5 iMac that does not have a fekked graphics card like my other one
and installed Mac OS 10.4.11 on it + TenFourFox and so on.

Beautiful, and vintage right up my alley, but what on earth is " TenFourFox"

If I remeber correctly, this is FIREFOX for RISK (?) machines like the G5.

AAhhhhhhhhh

'TenFourFox is a web browser for Power Macintosh computers, based on Mozilla's Gecko layout engine. It is a port of Mozilla Firefox for PowerPC-based Macintosh computers running Mac OS X to retain compatibility with the older architecture and older versions of the operating system, and to add PowerPC-specific optimizations for improved performance."

Metacard 2.4.1

So that is what RR1 looks like!~

I had tried to get it to run (a windows version), but I never got it to stay open long enough to do anything in it.

It is obviously time to get your paws on a PPC Macintosh.

A little bit early in the game, but there we are.

Well, I do still have a **functioning 1980's Mac+, with it's whole 9" B&W screen, MASSIVE 2 megs of RAM, and all the software that came with it, does that count?

Well, it certainly counts in terms of putting you in the loony-bin for those who
hang onto old computers just because . . . .

But, in terms of tracking the development of xTalk programming environments it does
leave you with a fairly chunky lacuna between then and now . . . .

What is rather good about the G5 iMac is that it runs MacOS 9.2.2 as a "Classic" layer
within MacOS 10.4.11, so you can do almost anything from System 7 until the death of PPC.

Hey now, it has HyperCard! What more do you want?!

What more do you want?!

First versions of RunRev, Metacard and so on.

Of course one can also fool around with Authorware and so on under Mac Classic.

I never heard of 'Authorware', so I'll have to go look that one up

I never could lay my hands on the first version of Mc, but I am still looking
