To which Timothy Virkkala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> commented: >Though I don't judge iCab as visually appealing as Explorer (which only runs >on PowerMacs or better, I believe), Depends on what version of IE we are speaking. IE 4.5 and newer require a PPC. Older don't but I do not know where the cutoff from 68000 takes place. An SE/30 ought to run on IE 4.0. I have had surprisingly good success with IE 2.0 (2.1?) on both an SE/30 and a Classic II. It won't handle a lot of later web stuff. I find it more stable, brighter, and faster than any version of Netscape 3 or 4 although Netscape 3 and 4 have more features if it doesn't freeze. Bye the waye, my limited experience was always running an SE/30 or Classic II with Open Transport rather than classic networking. Next time I try my luck with an SE/30 or Classic II online, I, too, will be running iCab for the very reasons -p and Tim suggest. My one try at it so far had System 7.5.5/OT/Eudora 3.1.3(lite)/iCab/Graphic Converter/QuickTime 4 handling everything I came up against even on the Classic II running inside 10 MB RAM. Slow and in many cases some really crappy small screen black and white, but, as l! ong as it didn't wiggle, scream, nor expect you to smell it, it handled it. iCab is the best we are likely to see on our 030 compacts. So we must encourage its continued developement and test for the fine edges such as the best way to handle fonts, graphics, etc. I wonder if the iCab people monitor this forum?
