The latest version of VLC doesn't support the G3. Under Tiger, I use Perian and as a player, either QTAmateur (very lean QuickTime player) and NicePlayer. >> If Bruce J is reading this, he has a link to the OpenOffice >I prefer Neoffice, does'nt need X11 and can handle office 2007 files >(.docx and .xlsx) I try very hard to like NeoOffice, but on slow hardware (e.g. - my 400MHz Pismo), it can get a bit sluggish. The newer builds of OpenOffice _are_ available for PPC, if you know where to look (see below). You can try both and see which you prefer. Note that the 'Neo' builds typically lag the OpenOffice builds by at least one release version (e.g. - IIRC, the current Neo release is based on a 3.0.x OpenOffice build, while OO is at 3.2.x). That may or may not be a good thing, depending on what feature set or level of reliability you want. The Neo folks do, at times, squash bugs in the OO code, but spend most of their limited resources on the Neo adaptation and its additional features. <http://mirror.unlogisch.ch/ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/ MacOSX/> - Don -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
