Proof of concept of - what? The proxy idea?

I've only got one browser project, and not even time for that! :D

I don't think getting them to compile (in general) would be the hard part, though I've certainly seen enough problems posted on the Webkit list from new hackers. (Building for 68k Mac OS, yeah, that might be a royal pain.) Mucking about with layout logic to support character cell rather than...

I'm still curious if it would be possible to hack Gecko and/or Webkit to support a text-only display. A console-mode browser with good, compliant JS performance would rock, and be very fast. You could even support a decent subset of CSS: basic positioning, simple color, bold/underline/blink, etc.

If you find a solution, I'll get it added to the FAQ. This would be a very useful thing to have, these days.

Prior to the HD failure of my Mystic, it ran NetBSD and sat in my cubicle running xscreensaver. It was a nice conversation piece. I really need to make time for getting it running again.

I believe that in Systems <5, some of the icons were different than what most of us are familiar with in 6/7 and later. I can't say for sure that those are known examples, but I have also read articles in the past like that.

Thank you for this, CHC. I read the blog entry. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being a top Google page for "G5 optimization" before long. How much time do you spend on your programming hobbies?

A sparse page like Google takes 20 seconds? Yikes. Are you on dialup, too? I'd think even a SE/30 would do better than that. Most of my personal pages are fairly sparse. Often the only images are the background, which is used across the entire site, so that's downloaded just once. I do some...

I was under the impression that FPU emulation was doing pretty well? I've never had need to try it, so I suppose I could be wrong.

Mystic. It does, and very well! That's what I had on my Mystic (User:ChristTrekker/conrad) until the HD died. I have a build of Dillo 0.85 from the NB 2.1 days. I presume that I tried it at least once. Dillo2 should be even better, assuming you can build it. (FLTK ♥!) I'd like to get WebKit...

Wow, that's sweet. Wish I had $40. :) I've stopped there a couple times, but nothing interesting then. OTOH, my dual 500 G4 is running my web site just fine for now, and is a huge improvement from the G3 300 I had been using. I don't really have need of anything else right now. To get...

It has the original CC bezel. The other mobo isn't a 550, as that's just a faster '030 IIRC. This has an LC040. I did a little searching on the NIC, and it seems most unusual. It's apparently relatively rare, and it allows you to daisy chain ethernet through it.

A nice fellow found an old CL post of mine and asked if I still wanted old Macs. He's moving and had recycled most of his old computer gear, except for a Color Classic and upgrade mobo. He said I could have them (even dropped them off at my house) if I promised to send pics if I made a fish...

IIRC, SimCity and Warlords had 4-bit color options.

I was looking for the Color Classic FAQ and Stuart Bell's sites, but they appear to be offline. Have they moved, or disappeared? If the latter, anyone have a mirror up?

Tried booting my ANS for the heck of it, and it didn't come up. :( Lugged out the spare monitor and keyboard, and apparently isn't finding the boot drive. It's a half-height 9GB I had lying around when I got the ANS. So now I'm reinstalling to one of the 1/3 height 2GB drives that I got...

Bah, the ANS is overkill! Get an old Quadra and install A/UX or NetBSD - that's plenty of juice to run a web server. ;)

Rounded corners are supposed to be in CSS3 but I haven't tinkered with that yet.

Weren't you looking for a more elegant solution to that, back in 2002? :) I suppose one could make a custom lcdproc driver for the ANS, using lcdstring, if one can't get it to build with the hd44780 driver. One would be correct in presuming I have not had any luck thus far with that. Maybe...
