Adobe shockwave player for mac os x. One of my customers has asked me for help with his mac (I'm pretty clueless about macs). He has Panther 10.3.9, Internet Explorer 5 (which just about works) and a broken Safari which crashes since the upgrade to 10.3.9.

Now that we've successfully installed VNC I can work on the machine remotely, and intend to update Java in the hope of fixing Safari. Is there a suitable upgrade of Safari which can be downloaded for this version of MacOs?

Search on the web suggests also trying Camino and Firefox 2.0.0.12. Advice much appreciated. Phil, London.

On the plus side as Apple hardware is more controlled, they know that a 500mhz performs as a 500mhz, and isn't crippled by poor motherboards etc etc, so when the system requirements are set, it generally means a machine will be OK.

On the iBook I'd say it's going to be a plodder, my iMacs a plodder, but its ok, it isn't frustratingly slow otherwise it wouldn't be used. A switch of ram would be useful, bunging 512MB PC100-133 144pin SODIMM in the top would help (the 128 is soldered on board). Would need to check for a DVD or DVD/CD-r combo drive as 10.4 was only available on CD by special order (most you'll find will be on DVD). A machine of that vintage did come with a CD drive as standard with DVD or Combo drive on the higher spec models.

About Firefox for Mac Mozilla Firefox is a graphical web browser developed by the Mozilla Corporation and a large community of external contributors. Firefox started as a fork of the Navigator browser component of the Mozilla Application Suite. Firefox has replaced the Mozilla Suite as the flagship product of the Mozilla project, under the direction of the Mozilla Foundation. To display web pages, Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine, which implements most current web standards in addition to several features which are intended to anticipate likely additions to the standards. Latest Firefox features include tabbed browsing, spell checking, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager, private browsing, location-aware browsing (also known as 'geolocation') based exclusively on a Google service and an integrated search system that uses Google by default in most localizations. Functions can be added through add-ons, created by third-party developers, of which there is a wide selection, a feature that has attracted many of Firefox's users.
