The reason for Safari is to just get on the net with something compatible to 10.2.8 I'm not using OS9 on this machine but I could if that's the key to getting on the net with my PowerBook G3 300 512 Wallstreet. I don't want to use XPostFacto. I want this machine to run the max system it was designed for, it's part of a 25 piece collection.
