a friend who is an advanced apple-user but lives in the south of france, is sending panther cd's by mail . thanks for your guidance to xpostfacto!

ok-i'll report back when i'm done installing panther-thanx

i have downloaded and installed xpostfacto4 and it looks like it made the machine faster, while still running os10.2.8. Now i have two questions: -what would be the best os -panther option? -how do i get it?

i managed to obtain a 256 mb stick and a 128 mb stick. the 256 is in the first slot, the two 128's in the next two slots. seems to be working; running both messenger and firefox is no longer unacceptably slow. i'll be looking for 1 more stick with 256 and that will be it then, i guess. thanx for...

i run a tower-model g3 power pc on a speed of 266 Mhz. It currently has two time 80mb ram and 1 time 128mb ram installed, totalling 288 mb. i believe i will try and change the two 80mb pieces for 128's and then the machine will be as fast as possible. any ideas as to how to obtain the 128's?

the argument of more efficient os-'s is new to me. i think i'll try to backup the system as it is to a dvd and then try and follow your lead. thanx just checked post-facto. looks promising. i'll give it a try next weekend. thanx

thanx-i will try adium. the rest however, doesn't look like a good idea. this machine is currently running at max performance. it won' support more. just been checking post facto. looks like you're right. i'll be trying next weekend. thanx

afte two weeks of struggling, i managed to find the firmware-update neccesary to run os 10.2.8 on this old g3 power pc. the machine will not support a higher os. therefore, i am constricted to messenging via messenger4. It seems the best alternitive is Mercury 1.8. However, no matter how i try...

Great news. I want to thank everybody for their suggestions and help, it finally worked. I am now working from a os 10.2.8-environment. The machine is not as fast as under os 9 but it is widely supported and it's fast enough for me. One happilly surfing Duthman signing off!

thanx. there is a mac-store opening in our town in a few weeks time. if i don't get osx running before that, i will go and follow your advice.

not wanting to critisize you, the link you provided for the "card-update" leads exactly to the file i need. However, it is no longer being supported. i find myself in a catch22-situation; os9 is functional, the machine would support 10.2.8, but via this machine running os9, i cannot make the...

lots of info for a "macabete"; i hope it will help

thanks very much. i now have (after a downloading process that took half an hour) a file on my desktop that is called xpostfacto4.dmg. As you can understand by my line of questioning, i am a beginner in the mac-world. So here is the next question: what do i do with this file?

the problem is, i cannot register with this site because it doesn't accept any credit-card i have.

thanx. any suggestions as to where i find it?

after struggling for two weeks, I've got my old g3 power pc (beige tower, 266mhz, 288mb ram), running os9. However, i want to install my os 10.2.8 on it. This cannot be done before upgrading the firmware. The document i need for that is listed in the downloadlist by applesupport, but no longer...
