    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    Worked great here on 10.4.11 on my G5. Reading through some MacRumors posts it sounds like it unintentionally only works on G5s right now, unfortunately.

    MARCHintosh 2026 Projects

    I've never had a chance to play with Mac OS X Server NetBoot, so I plan to tinker with that this month! One abuse I intend to try is seeing if the CHRP-enabled versions System 7 can be NetBooted.

    G4 iMac and its intense heat. A brainstorm.

    On my 800 MHz model, the fan is audible but moves quite a bit of air. It's not extremely warm, even though I keep the paste fresh, but that may simply be due to the lower clock speed.

    The Brown SE

    FWIW, everything I have retrobrited with the hair developer cream in the past has re-yellowed within a couple years, even when sitting in a dark closet. I am not sure there is a fool-proof method.

    Marchintosh 2026 and GlobalTalk?

    GlobalTalk is still going strong! I'm not sure who is "in charge" of approvals, but the latest update on the sheet I see is from @Ron's Computer Videos so maybe he can help push yours through :)

    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    It's a bit slow on my G5 without JIT, but it does work quite nicely!

    How long did the compile take on your system?

    Last thing you did with your G5?

    Downloaded a bunch of photos taken that day from my DSLR into Aperture, then organized and edited them. Apple may have given up on Aperture, but I never did :)

    Modern power supply for se/se30?

    I'll add another unsolicited +1 regarding his work, he did a great job with my IIci which I didn't trust myself to do!

    Comparison between Babyface and TT Design PSUs for SE/30?

    It seems to me like the 4XDC version would be beneficial only for systems like yours where you experienced 12V noise issues with the Micron Xceed card installed.

    Mac SE/30 networking

    One additional option to consider is BlueSCSI, which not only emulates storage but also DaynaPORT. Two birds, one stone!

    Message Bridge - iMessage and SMS on retro hardware

    It has been a while, but I am back with a new update with several quality-of-life improvements: Improvements to the "lite" client: Improved navigation to be on a single line Image attachments are converted and down-scaled prior to download, as these systems are unlikely to handle the originals...
