Since the Macs4Good project spends a great deal of time refurbishing
older Macs to make them useful. I thought I would chime in on my knowledge
of using OS9 browsers on today's internet.
<p>Regarding OS9 web browsers. Most of the old web browsers for OS9 have
not been updated for quite some time so will not handle web pages with
new technology. I find two still worth using:
<p>1) A German upgrade of the Mozilla browser called Mozilla131. It is
still not current with all web pages but is better then most older versions.

<p>2) iCab still updates their browser for OS9 (cross your figures). However
Flash has not been updated for iCab. Also be aware that iCab is not a free
browser.

<p>No browser for OS9 is current in every respect. However if you keep
both of these two browsers handy then you will have a better experience
using the web with OS9.

<pre>I thought that I would report back that Mac OS 9 and AOL do still function
together. The built in AOL web browser cannot view most web pages but once
you are dialed in, you then can launch IE 5.17 or Netscape 7 and view web
sites with them.
I was dealing with an operating system that was corrupted and reinstalling
Mac OS 9 and AOL 5 got it working properly. Thanks for the suggestions I
received.
Thanks!
