My sister has my old PB190, 40MB RAM, 500MB or 1G HD (I don't remember
which). Running system 8.1. We don't live in the same state, so
anything I help her with is done long distance using my psychic
computer powers. I'm her "expert". It's a long time since I've run
system 8. She has to connect via AOL dial-up. She's using AOL 4 which I
think is the most current version that the 68000 machines can use. The
browser with that version won't do very much with current websites (as
I recall it had a lousy reputation even when it was new). She has
Netscape 4.01 on there also. I suggested she try connecting via AOL and
then opening Netscape and using it instead. But the machine tells her
she doesn't have enough memory. She should have plenty of memory. The
only other app running is Stickies, which I guess is a startup item.
We've tried it with virtual memory on and off. With AOL she has been
running with VM off, since she has plenty of memory. She has
Communicator, not the stand-alone version. Any suggestions? iCab maybe?
More current version of Netscape, but I'm not sure she can go higher
looking on the Netscape site. PB190 is not PPC.
