There's been an attack into Yahoo mail accounts

Folks,

There has been an attack into Yahoo mail accounts. They are sending
messages with hacked accounts to any list that that person is
subscribed to.

Rather than moderate all yahoo accounts, we are going to place each
hacked account on moderated status unless it gets too bad.

I do not know if it will help, but yahoo users might want to change

Well, Seamonkey IS based on the leaner Firefox code, that's what I'm
trying to say. Seamonkey is just Firefox and Thunderbird bundled
together with some different window dressing, the difference between
Firefox and Seamonkey is largely cosmetic; under the hood, they're
identical; same exact code. It's a completely different scenario than

I meant that to some extent it's based on the older code because it's
the old Mozilla version, not the leaner firefox code. Yes, it's been
updated to the current specs tho. Classilla may get to that point or
it may not. We'll have to see.

Have you actually used it yet? Compared to WaMCom and iCab it's way

That's actually not true at all; Seamonkey is based on the same code
as the latest versions of Firefox; Seamonkey 1.1 uses the exact same
rendering engine (Gecko 1.8.1) as Firefox 2.0, and Seamonkey 2.0 uses
the exact same rendering engine (Gecko 1.9.1) as Firefox 3.5

Classilla is based on a modified version of Gecko 1.3, called

I have to say that it's great to see that this is being attempted.
High five to the developers for the efforts!!
OS 9 has a vast repository of software for those giving away older Macs.
The bonus being that a satisfactory web browsing experience is possible

And the dev makes note of the fact that's he's been working to
backport fixes and get it working. Quite frankly, from what I have
seen, it's miles ahead of both WaCom and iCab in speed and stability.
I can actually make use of my 3400 on the net where before it was
pretty much useless. Since it has a good battery I'm even debating

This isn't really as exciting as it first sounds. It's Gecko-based,
but it's OLD Gecko-based. It's just a resurrection of the old WaMCom
project; it's based on Mozilla 1.3, which is what the early Firefox
betas or Netscape 7.1 were based on, it's 6 versions behind current.
At this point, it's 6-year-old code, riddled with known security

Well, I must say that I'm really impressed with this. I've been
playing with it on my 3400 for a while now, and it works really well.
Only problem I have is that the AOL mail login screen doesn't render
the login prompt so I can't check my netscape.net mail. I tried to
install the Flash7 plugin but it doesn't seem to work(not a big deal

I just heard about this over on the G-Books list and checked it out.

I look forward to the release of Classilla on July 1. It a is Gecko-
based web browser for Mac OS 8.6-9.2.2. I hope that it helps to
extend the usefulness of some of those Macs that we have troubles
placing with good homes now because of the issue with web browsing. I

Hello,

My name is Jason Pitman. I am in Dayton, Ohio. My wife and I have
been refurbishing PC's for awhile now and even though I'm now a Mac
user, I never realized the potential an old Mac has to offer. Last
week I found an iMac 233 tray loader (old - I know) for a VERY cheap
price. I decided it was worth it to experiment on for my daughter.

MacAlley has made a number of affordable but excellent keyboards over
the years, which can usually be found cheap on ebay and the like.
I've been using the same MacAlley iKey keyboard with all my Macs since
my 333MHz iMac, I usually prefer it to the keyboard that comes with
the machine.

Just about any USB mouse will work fine with OS X

Steve, have you tried this adapter under OS X.3 or OS X.4 (or OS X5)?
