Hi!
I resurected old Powerbook 5300cs (100MHz, 24Mb RAM, Os 9.0 retail) for my dad to read his favourite news site (www.sme.sk) but the site takes ages to load on Explorer 5.1.7 which Im testing out right now.
What would you guys recomend for a web browser for this machine? Is there a "pure text" mode in some of the browsers (something like reading mode in Safari?), that would be ideal for my dad.
Also I had trouble seting up the Outlook to comunicate with GMAIL. Are there anny tricks to make this working? What is the simplest yet good mail client you guys use?
Also in other news Im going to set up a Quadra 700 to connect to the net I hope, at least make a tweet or two. I will keep you posted and post some pics.
Thanks!!! Let the old macs live forever!
