Hi,
I have a slow old Mac, its a Performa 6200 running OS 7.5.3, also has 24 MB
RAM. 28.8 external modem.
I would like to maximise its performance, and I want to make sure I am
doing all I can to do that without spending much cash.
I need to know which versions of various bits of software are best for it,
notably Netscape, Fetch, Newshopper, Norton.
I would also like to find some decent FTP sites to download some old
software,  and in particular where I can download upgrades for the OS.
I mostly use it for reading news,connecting to a unix server via telnet,
surfing, some web design work <mostly text layout>, wordprocessing and
...um, adventure games!
TIA,
Lynne
