Greetings! This is a shot in the dark toward you Mac mavens, but here goes:
I'm dusting off my old trusty cool (in many ways) 32meg OS 8.1 PowerBook 190 to sub for my toasty eMac during NYC's broiling non-A/C and brownout days and I'm trying to install a decent browser. I've rounded up IE 4.01, Netscape 4.08, and with high hopes iCab 2.9.8 -- a CUTTING EDGE! browser for ancient 68040 machines -- Hallelujah! However my bubble burst when I discovered that iCab starts gobbling memory right out of the gate, and after a few minutes virtually jams my PB to a standstill from hogging out my memory. Though I killed the load images options and set the cache to zero, iCab keeps on swelling. My poor cousin alternatives aren't much better; Netscape keeps slamming me with "expired certificate" alerts every five pages I go, frustration and delay making it almost unusable, and IE won't log into .Mac for the same balking certificate reason. For right now I'm going with IE with a 350k disk cache which helps crawl it along, but I sure wish I had a way to kill all these certificate thingies or an older 68040 version of iCab which won't date expire! Any suggestions will be much appreciated!! JimWG -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
