Well, technology came full circle. Now, with the advent of so many
hand held devices accessing the Internet, some of which have only a
little more power than my hacked 183 MHz PB 540c, I can now use a
resource that they use to make my BlackBird more useful.

Anyone who wants to, try using Mozilla on their BlackBird and use the
Google resources to view pages as in:

URL: http://www.google.com/gwt/n

If you type that in first it will give you a window (small, perfect
for my 640 x 480 screen) where you can type in the URL you really want
to look at. Google will then cut out all of the junk, flash, Java and
other stuff that would otherwise cause your BlackBird to choke and you
get what you need! I've been using this on my 20th Ann. Mac running
9.2 and now that I have my BlackBird running 9.1 (little slow but
works fine) I feel like I've got brand new life to the little bugger.

Now, I need to get my WaveLan Silver 802.11b card to work in my Rev. c
card slot so I can use Wireless! Any suggestions?
