If Tiger/Leopard had real up to date web browsers, you could get what you needed from a PowerBook G4. I am typing this on a Tiger / PBG4 12" - but HN is one of the few sites that the old browser can load and work with perfectly... BTW the keys work great and are nearly silent and have good travel.

- patrickg_zill 8y agoYes, it is what I am using. It is called TenFourFox http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ . New functionality allows you to create "FoxBoxes" which are like separate containers for a single site; this allows you to both keep some sites separate, and, ensure that when you close the site, all the RAM is reclaimed immediately by the OS.
- linguae 8y agoHonestly, I wish someone would create a mod for the PowerBook G4 (either the Titanium or Aluminum versions) that is similar to the ThinkPad X62 project; modern components in a ThinkPad X61 chassis. I love this generation of Apple laptops, and it would be nice to use one of these with modern components.
