Nice. I'm using a QS 2002 also.
I recently found a lot of software which should keep it alive for a
while longer....a new browser based on the current Firefox, but it
doesn't do plugins, Mactubes for Youtube watching, OpenOffice, and
even a current version of Skype.
I've been using TenFourFox more and more. Cameron has done a
wonderful job with it.
RPM has a nice optimized build of Camino (and other stuff).

Check out the new release of LibreOffice - the latest incarnation of
OpenOffice.

If only there was a new Flash or someone knows a way to spoof the
flash version number in OS X
See the thread on this list, subj "PPC Flash Player UPDATE NEWS" for
directions on how to hack the Flash plug-in. Donno how useful it is;
I haven't bothered with it, yet.
Which brings me to my question. I spoof the browser and hardware
version in Firefox. I can get to, without any nags or warnings, the
Netflix streaming site, but when it gets to actually playing a
movie, it tells me I need to upgrade Silverlight. I have the last
Silverlight that was supported for PPC. My question is, does anyone
know of a way to spoof the version number of Silverlight?
Nothing to hack - the newer Silverlight, vers 3 and newer, are x86
builds only and videos that require it simply won't play on the older
vers, afaik.
