I’ve been using
NetNewsWire for a while now. It
seems like a great idea, but I just don’t find it all that
useful—kind of like the Google tool in
Watson. Sometimes the browser’s more flexible interface is a win.
I have the same gut feeling about Steven Frank’s
Emila prototype (though I’ve not used it).
Daring Fireball explains, through a
script, why the readme on the Jaguar install CD isn’t readable on OS 9. It would be funny if it didn’t seem so plausible.
Plug: You can fix files that lack type and creator codes with my free
File Adopter utility. It’s the only one I know of that uses Internet Config rather than an internal list of favorites to map from extensions back to HFS
metadata.
I’m more concerned that when I try to boot either of two Wall Street PowerBook G3s from the Jaguar install CD they just hang there with a blank screen (backlight off). Software Update doesn’t detect any firmware updates that they are lacking, and 10.1 installed fine.
Update: Oddly enough, I was able to re-install 10.1.3, and when I ran the Jaguar installer from there it worked.
