No questions I just wanted to thank all people who developed TenFour Fox.
I finally found some supporters for the ppc.
I am using my 2005 Mac Mini 1.4GHZ G4 here.
Glad I got to use it again because it has been sitting idle,because I have been running a dell desktop Pent4 on ubuntu
I always did like the ppc platform apple should have kept using it.
Or should I say Motorola since they made the processor,they should have kept improving it.
Thanks again everyone.!!!!!!
Oh hey are you by chance going to make thunderbird for ppc?

   We don't recommend people use old versions for security reasons. You're more than welcome to take your chances, but that's strictly at your own risk.

   @theos911: If you're suffering, try Mint LXDE.

    I hate to be a killjoy, but we're here because of the generosity of Tenderapp specifically as a support service rather than as a generic discussion board. The g-list at LowEndMac or the forums at 68KMLA are great places to discuss ways of getting the most out of your Power Mac in general. If there are specific issues with TenFourFox, please feel free to open an issue to that end. Thanks for helping us to be good citizens to our generous benefactors here.
