    Any Linux with VirtualPC7/Leopard ?

    This idea drives me nuts! - To run a slick Linux-Distro within VirtualPC7 which is also able to run a Dropbox-Client or even Netflix. I did not succeed with AntiX and Debian7 'cause the damn Cursor didn't work within the VM. Read about someone getting Mandrake10 to run within VirtualPC7 but...

There will be a Setup app that allows you to set up your speed tweaks. For software, use Software to Get You Started...

    TaskPaper - Outline/Todo-Sync between PPC/intel-Macs and iOS

    I've searching for a long time for a simple non-distracting Outliner for use on my PowerBook, MacBook and iPhone.

    Resolved Nocturnal distraction-free writing in Tiger?

    I've just joined the club, as I managed to track down a neat 17" iMac G4. I wanted to mostly have it as a writing platform for late nights. On my main computer, I've used OmmWriter and FocusWriter because of these very important points: Distraction free: Full screen; None or barely any...

    Cyberduck for Cloud-Access

    Recently I found out, that the latest Cyberduck-App for Intel-Macs supports two-way autentification for Dropbox, Googledrive and others. I've mailed the developers, if the PowerPC version of Cyberduck could get this feature too (currently there's only/at least webDAV-support). He answered, that...

    Any Reason to Use TFF Over WebKit?

    OK, this isn't really a problem, kinda just asking for opinions. I noticed that in my web browser poll, the top browser was TenFourFox. For me, at least, LWK is much faster. So, how come so many of you use TFF over WebKit? @eyoungren told me it was because TFF was more customizable. I'm curious...
