JavaScript slows down far newer and faster machines. Your best bet would be aggressive NoScript usage to only whitelist the bare minimum. (Which is a good idea on any system. Or just not use a G4 as a daily driver, but as a retro thing.)

IIRC, it's SSH1 only, which OpenSSH upstream has mercifully killed. AFAIK, MacSSH is the only SSH2 client. Now, I've heard rumours of someone porting libssh2 and mbedTLS to the classic Mac OS - watch this space...

PC Exchange (or was it Easy Open?) can be used to inform the OS about type to extension mappings.

I mean, you could use either an SSL stripping tunnel or proxy too...

Even if it does do SSL, it likely won't support a new enough version or algorithms to connect. You could use Stunnel to decrypt on your local network, and another client - IIRC, Netscape and Outlook Express will do SMTP auth, maybe Mulberry and Mail Drop too? There's probably more...

Type C is pretty handy even without Thunderbolt 3. Obviously, everything is better with Thunderbolt 3, but Alpine Ridge costs money, board space, and power. Hopefully the new chipsets for Coffee Lake integrate it, and that Intel's royalty-free program expands its reach, especially onto AMD...

Core 2 basically was the desktop Pentium M you wanted - a Pentium M with an altered inner design, including adding all of NetBurst's go-faster features, which when added to a P6, makes it ludicrously fast.

Things are subjective - the last thing I want are brushed metal and lickable windows.

I think there's bit of an element of the wiki being neglected because of poor integration into the site technically, and socially; this is often because the primary medium for the site becomes the only de facto medium. Even if forum stickies are a bad way to archive info relative to a wiki...

Compaq did that, and they had no interest in Itanium - or anything not x86, for that matter. (Itanium is a different story.)

Sparc was cancelled. Alpha was the best supported target because of DEC's involvement, which Compaq quickly canned. MIPS was the second port after i860 (which never launched) but fell to the wayside, as did PPC. There was also a cancelled ARM port... in the 90s. Most likely DEC due to source...

It's not going anywhere until it goes somewhere.

OF is on Old World PCI, but its kinda primitive.

Seems like it /may/ be possible to get NT running on Power Mac. The big stopping point is different firmware - Power Macs have OF, but NT needs ARC. However, there were OF systems that shipped with NT - they used veneer, as shipped on the NT CD, to basically shim ARC calls to OF, and then load...

Hint: HTTP proxies exist. Stunnel exists.

I bet 3.50$ it's 1. bitrotted and 2. only worked on Amiga.

I think it supports the G3 CPU (if you have an accelerator) - it doesn't support the chipset on G3s though.

Yeah, Leopard introduced some G5 optimizations, and you don't have the excuse of Classic to stay on Tiger.

> It's much slower than Chrome on Windows 10 with a 3.2GHz i7.  MUCH slower. >The question I have is whether I should be expecting the snappy performance I get with Chrome on Windows I mean, what did you expect? Modern browser on a MUCH MUCH faster CPU stomps an older browser on a older...

1. USB optical drive (works alright) 2. USB converter (not ideal) 3. who cares (I install from optical, but if that's the only reason keeping me, I'm being silly) 4. Composite's there, and late stage CRTs have DVI/HDMI.
