Which system software is best for my vintage Mac?, Tyler Sable, Classic Restorations. Which system software works best depends to a great extent on just which Mac you have and how much RAM is installed.
There is no 'best browser' for the Mac, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. With so many excellent free options, why limit yourself by using only a single browser?
