RTF for word processing documents, and CSV for spreadsheets (yes, I know, that doesn't have formatting, but that can be fixed with something like RTF over CSV)?
It's a 733 (5.5 * 133) Coppermine (Pentium III) Celeron (same amount of cache as a Coppermine Celeron, anyway). The graphics IS a custom GeForce 3, but it has performance in the GeForce 4 TI range.
Umm... they run on top of DOS. If DOS craps out, Windows craps out. It's just that the only app running (to DOS, anyway) is Windows, so DOS never craps out.
I'm using a 6-month old Marble Mouse (USB, optical), and it's got the following buttons: Left, PgUp, PgDn, Right. It's not what's on my box (a basic Logitech wheel mouse is on that, non-optical), but I do use this computer a lot.
If I want to open a new tab (it works in Opera, too), I have to hit left AND right at the exact same time.
Exactly. Now, if I just had an APPLE COMPUTER to try OS X on...
I'd like to try OS X, but I don't want to buy a new computer to do so. PearPC? I have to buy a quad Opteron system. Native OS X? I have to buy a Mac. Why isn't there something like Workspot, just with OS X boxes?
GLinks doesn't have the greatest rendering engine, BTW. Also, in my experience,/. logins require a forced refresh to work (Links apparently loads slashdot.org from the cache after a login).
BTW, the 150 is a top-locked AFX53 (or, the AFX53 is an unlocked 150). Also, EconolineCrush's comment about the K8 core just now hitting 2.4GHz is wrong - the FX53's been out about a month, I think.
What the hell are you talking about, troll? Go to the link, click your preferred package format, and go. It's easier than a SourceForge download, because SF DLs ask you to pick a mirror - this doesn't.
Also, I thought you ALWAYS had to have permission to simply drop a patch in. If you don't like the way it's going, grab Helix Alpha 1, and throw your own crap on, and call it Protein Media Player 0.1 or something.
RTFA, and realize that PowerPC is a BITCH to work with on top of x86 (that's also why x86 emus work so well on PPC when they're JIT). This 1/40 performance IS with JIT.
Good points. Of course, can I use virtual shells on my Links session? Or use GLinks-Hacked, and have tabbed browsing too? Then I have that.
I'm typing this from Opera (7.23, I need to grab my flash drive and update it), BTW. I'm just saying that Opera's claim of Fastest Browser On Earth might be false (however, if it weren't for that slogan, this post would be typed from MSIE, and not Moz - I've ALWAYS hated Netscape and variants since v1.2 Win16).
5.2MHz? I didn't know they MADE web browsers WITH BUILT IN CPUs!
BTW, 5.2MB, and the bloat is bookmark plugins and MOUSE GESTURES (that stays if you're comparing against a browser with them)? BTW, where's the e-mail client?
No - it was looking for the word "Opera" in the UA, and Opera IDs itself in much the same way that Feedreader does - Basically, Moz4 compatible, IE6, Windows version (really weird when you see IE6 on X11, which is what Opera gives), Opera.
I'll admit that Opera's gained some bloat over the years, but it's still damn small. Something tells me they realized "Fastest Browser on Earth" was a Bad Idea(TM), as Links and Lynx are probably faster, and Contiki would blow Opera away on speed, considering Opera needs more hard drive than the C64 has RAM...
I always thought Opera's initial popularity was garnered from it being a tiny, "lean and mean" browser, whereas now it's just a big bloated hodgepodge full of unnecessary "stuff" (and who really uses those features anyhow?) Ironic that the once "tiny browser" is now crammed with more crap than IE or Netscape.
It's still the tiny browser.
To get Opera 7.50 Final w/o Java Win32, it is a 3.4MB download. You get the following: Browser (tabbed) E-mail client with database IRC client RSS feed reading (via e-mail client) Pop-up blocking Mouse gestures
To get Mozilla 1.6 Final Win32, it is an 11.8MB download, for the following: Browser (semi-tabbed) Traditional e-mail client IRC client Web page editor Pop-up blocking
To get Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 Win32, it can vary from an 11MB to a 75MB download (at it's SMALLEST, it's only ~800KB smaller than Moz), and is usually 25MB (according to MS). You get this: Browser Traditional e-mail client What, you thought you'd get MSN Messenger in the deal? Sorry, that's another download.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious. It really does have a good user interface (7.50 got better - it's an acquired taste if you used 7.23, but it's easier for someone who didn't use Opera before), but paying customers do seem to be a bit rare (I tune out the Google ads, myself).
Slashdot Mirror
but I am not sure if Contiki can run as a server OS

Contiki can even run a version of uVNC, which is Adam Dunkels' VNC server for 8-bit systems.
You're also paying for the Electrolux name with the Trilobite - they make some high-end vaccums, you know...

I can not name a single well known business that has sent UCE
Digital Equipment Corporation, bought out by Compaq, which was bought out by Hewlett-Packard. Granted, they did this over 25 years ago, but...
If I get a Mac, it'll probably be a B&W G3. My budget would be under $300, not including RAM upgrades.
Exactly. Now, if I just had an APPLE COMPUTER to try OS X on...
I'd like to try OS X, but I don't want to buy a new computer to do so. PearPC? I have to buy a quad Opteron system. Native OS X? I have to buy a Mac. Why isn't there something like Workspot, just with OS X boxes?
However, was Bochs using JIT? If not, and Bochs was doing 1/40 speed of a real x86, then with JIT, it'd be pretty damn good.
x86 on PPC sounds like it's a lot better than PPC on x86.
They couldn't sue the hell out of PearPC, but they could sue the hell out of anyone who tried to use it for running OS X on a non-Apple computer.

Bash.org quote 369 - you win the cookie!
WHOA... That was in February 2003, and Opera got MSN to fix it.
No - it was looking for the word "Opera" in the UA, and Opera IDs itself in much the same way that Feedreader does - Basically, Moz4 compatible, IE6, Windows version (really weird when you see IE6 on X11, which is what Opera gives), Opera.
Also, Opera (for a while) had a promotion where you could get a second license (for a different platform) for free, AFAIK.
