Excuse me? please read the earlier posts in this thread.
I am talking about IE for Mac Classic.
iCab support? Is Classilla a sensible replacement for people still
using IE for Mac? etc.
I couldn't get classzilla running on a blue and white G3 running 9.0.2
when I tried it a couple months ago.
I have a couple of these systems for driving some embedded hardware
that never got moved to anything more modern, they'd be perfectly
adequate systems for webbrowsing if you could get a workably up to
date webbrowser on them: The IE the OS ships with hard locks the
machine on
apple.com of all places! I was only bothering to attempt
this because I wanted to get a screenshot of cortado playing videos on
something very old, and I only spent an hour or so on it. (Wikipedia,
OTOH, worked fine with the IE that comes with the OS on those systems)
But seriously. Outright *excluding* these old things shouldn't even be
a consideration. Even a very small audience (like 0.02%) is tens of
thousands of readers. Mediawiki (and the WMF deployment) already has
many features which don't work / don't work well on fairly old
systems, so that bridge has already been crossed, but outright
dropping support for basic use?
