So I finally got around to wiping the old PowerMac I picked up from the swap meet, and doing an install from the OS 8 CD that I also got at the swap meet (thanks!)
Unfortunately the Netscape 3 browser that came with OS 8 is really slow. Slow to start up, slow at loading pages, just really really slow. Not certain if it's the hardware (a PowerMac 5200/75 with 32 MB of RAM) or what. But I'm hoping there's a way to get a faster browser onto this machine. I noticed the Netscape site does have downloads of more recent browsers--anyone have opinions on whether a more recent rev would be any faster on this old PowerMac? Are there any other good alternatives for an old OS 8 machine besides a Netscape browser? | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be February 22.
