Hi All,

Sorry if this is old news, but there is an unofficial build of Firefox optimized for the G5 processor.

It is faster, but it quits unexpectedly sometimes, and though it is built from the stable 1.0 final build, it is a bit buggy.



-I just love browser wars, there's that Cold War philosophy, ideology and energy to that "global winner takes all" feel of it. Who da known that Microsoft and Netscape Mozilla would come to headlines again so soon? Ahh, I just love Open Source. Adds a freshness and vitality to this new "global domination and control of the World Wibe Web" debate.
