  • Leonis, great topic. I also want to use windows only mp3 players (got a cheap one as a gift) and have found that the the resource forks (the ".files") Keep screwing stuff up. The players just have regular flash drives, which can be mounted by …

  • Anyone else using Jaguar? When installing extensions Firefox crashes every time. Is this is the first Panther only 'Zilla?

  • I think that as a standalone browser, firefox kicks ass, but I am having problems installing extensions - crashes every time! So my customized browsing experience is lacking for the last 24 hours.

  • Quote: Originally posted by Zapchud 5800 Dhrys is correct, it's the other figure that's incorrect. Just dig up the ancient PDF from 2002, the 1.8 has 5220 Dhrys. Glad someone did their homework. . . either way, a typo

  • 5800 Dhrys may be a typo because 8500 sounds about right at ~ 2.0 Ghz.
