One of the things I keep telling my students is that Google needs total 508 compliance if you want your site to index- they are slow to pick that up. They also tell me that no one will give up a Newspaper to read on screen- until I tell them that one day- a "newspaper" that you can't adjust the size of the type- and the typeface-etc. will seem prehistoric. D’Arcy-

David, this is through shell. Fire up shell and type lynx, if it's installed, it should load up. Try using “links” instead of lynx. David, this is through shell.

That will give you the latest Firefox and work great...rather than try hobbling around with Lynx, as pleasant as it is to go back in time and enjoy text-based browsing (I used Lynx a long time ago).

I'll need to strip out the extra video cards, QuickDraw Accelerator, etc... to get it back to a stock 8600/300, and then I'll try again. Seems like the sanest solution, since it'll be awhile before I will be replacing the old workhorse. Miguel – I tried the Ubuntu LiveCD, but it borked on something.

Opera is a great browser to check things in. shift-F11 switches to small screen mode, for instance. hmm--i think i like your blog better in this mode for some reason... almost all my music making took place on an 8500 running 9, until i got a mirrored drive door G4 and ran 9 on that. still am.
