Thx! Maybe a bit better sharper and clearer image.
I tried using the Aquafox browser for Yahoo Basic Mail, which is an easy interface, but impossible. To use Iris Mail much easier way.
The problem is, if I left OSX for something else, I would miss a lot of other things that make me prefer OSX. But I also think we did everything of Leopard that we could. Ofc with a single-core G4 processor.
By the way, I don't need modern social media or Google. I hate it. I just need a well-optimized movie player that handle well the 720p on the 1440x960 display. On Leopard!

With MKV AC3 720p movie MPlayer was laggy for me. I also need subtitles. I haven't tried the QMPlay2 player.
Booted into my copy of MorphOS to finally copy over my key file (I registered it last week) and explore the OS itself. I opened up AmIRC and hopped onto some of my preferred chat rooms from it just fine.
This is a dual-boot setup with Sorbet Leopard, by the way. I love my Power Mac G5.

After seven long, grueling days of software compilation, today I finished the easy part of migrating Shiratsuyu's main system install from Tiger to Leopard. The last piece I needed Classic for was replaced; I no longer need it.
Bring on the modern software compatibility.
... and also interoperability with the Mac mini server? I never could get ARD working correctly going from Tiger client to Leopard server.

After running some tests, I think a good BDRip is enough for me. Compared to DVDRip I have more enough details and the CPU is at around 30% load. I don't see much point in forcing HD on this 20y old display.
I liked Rhythmbox and loved Exaile. That takes me back to my days running Ubuntu in 2008 for the first time.
As for me, my order of new RAM for my Power Mac G5 came in. I'm at 5.5 GB now with my old RAM added in, so I'll likely get another order sooner or later to swap out the old sticks entirely and max out to 8GB.
