First off I want to say happy new decade, our macs have now made it into their 3rd or 4th decade and are still in heavy use.
I've been doing a lot of thinking and I very much praise the PowerUOC efforts and can't wait to see what we can do with it.
I've been thinking of something different on the side though and I hope someone can hear me out on this one. Safari 4 runs great on my 400mhz iMac, and even the YouTube page and videos load up fast (black screen though) but I can still sign into Google and use YouTube and Gmail and I can browse some websites that actually load, pretty quickly. I've had a lot of luck with WebKit based browsers on PPC.
This may be a stupid idea but what are the chances of a possible safari/WebKit based browser like we have for leopard? Tenfourfox isn't light at all on resources and PowerUOC and other tweaks make it at least usable, and pretty quick in some cases on G4 systems, but I can't get the Idea of a WebKit browser out of my head.
I know The chances are next to none of someone developing yet another new browser for PPC, but does anyone get what I'm saying? A modern WebKit ported to PPC could bring back some speed to our beloved G3 machines.
This is just a thought of course, I still love PowerUOC and Mozilla based browsers.
