Safari, Firefox. They have the ability to run all the software for Tiger, the only exception is playing DVDs but you can get a decoder for that. Mine boots three systems, can run USB, FireWire and SCISI devices. The accessories for them are very cheap compared to the day they were new. I put a faster processor and large HDD in mine. It does every thing my TiBook 800 does but with a little extra class:-)
