If you want to browse the Web or pursue related online
venues almost free of the fear of viral, worm or trojan horse infection,
do it on a Mac. Particularly the old, original version of the OS, pre-OSX.
Although OSX, the new, UNIX-based release of the Mac OS is more robust
than earlier versions and still superior to Windows's immutable vulnerability
to more than 65,000 variants of malicious infectious code, none are as
immune as the legacy MacOS through version 9.2.2. (It may not have pre-emptively
multitasked, or even managed memory all that well, but it was hard to
crack and has been victimized by fewer than 50 viruses since its inception
in 1984.)
On this page:
• Web Browsers for Mac OS 8.x through 9.2.2.
--
• Utilities for other aspects of Internet telecommunications, from
e-Mail to FTP. Coming soon.

WaMCom 1.3.1 - OS 8.6-9.x
A most valuable revision to the end-of-line Mozilla browser for the
Classic Mac environment. The first truly stable version of Mozilla
for Mac OS 8.6 through 9.x, tweaked for stability by Kai Engert, originally
of the Mozilla Project. Many thanks to Kai for singularly making this
version of Mozilla the best of breed. Called WaMCom
by Engert as an acronym for Web and Mail Communicator. |
