Thanks guys! I tried googling this but couldn't find anything. I guess because I searched for 2019 instead of 2020 (or "Y2K20", ugh). Now future googlers like me will find this thread and your nice links there. ;)

Hi!
I was considering VGA modding my Color Classic, but then read this warning here: https://colourclassicfaq.com/general/vga.html

Hello!
Every couple of years I return to my Mac OS 9 Ibook to play around with, and I've always used Classilla to download files onto it using Macintosh Garden and/or Repository, but nowadays that is no longer possible. Or is it? I've tried updating to the last version of Classilla but I...
