Gratitude

I am sure most of you have heard about the news regarding TenFourFox and Classilla. If you have not here is a link to what I am talking about,

Reading this has made me look back over my PowerPC Mac experience. I am left feeling extremely grateful. Prior to my experiences with post Leopard PowerPC Masc I had only dabbled with Ubuntu on x86 and amd64 machines here and there. Running Debian Jessie and Wheezy on PowerPC Macs is what really gave my GNU/Linux skills a solid foundation. Having the ability to hop over to Tiger and/or Leopard and run TenFourFox at any given moment throughout all these years has been nothing short of amazing. One of, if not my most favorite periods of time in my technical journey has been the time spent on PowerPC Macs. TenFourFox was an absolutely integral part of this time.

Feel free to join me in the comments as I close by thanking Cameron Kaiser. We really appreciate the tireless, amazing work you have done for our community. Thank you for everything!

  1. Cameron's work has been an incredible boost to the longevity of PPC Macs and I expect TFF will still have a good few years use ahead of it yet.

  2. I expect TFF will still have a good few years use ahead of it yet. The good news is that it will continue to work and all websites will still open up, that is until TLS 1.4 comes out which is due sometime in 2030/2035. But, huge thanks to Cameron Kaiser !
