I'll just stay right here in my lawn chair. With a Thinkpad and Linux, it'd be much the same. With new Macs, I'd have to accept no Firewire, no Classic, no PowerPC support, not even Rosetta, and Apple's increasingly buggy software. ![]() I recently weighed my upgrade options, looking at a Mac Mini, a Macbook Air, and a Thinkpad, but I didn't find them appealing. ![]() Upon further review, this is too buggy.)Īnyway, this has been another episode of cling to PowerPC forever.

With this I'm all set, until sites warn me my version of Firefox is too old*, please update, etc., etc. (UPDATE: I should add to revert to default, right-click on the preference and select "Reset".) Then enter this for the string (no line breaks): So I did it the manual way, which is to enter about:config in the address bar and press return, type useragent in the search field, right click on some white space and choose New -> String from the menu. ![]() 37 permanently so I wouldn't have to switch user agents back and forth between sites, but User Agent Switcher has a bug/feature where it reverts to the default version after closing a window. The iPhone 3 solution isn't wholly satisfactory as it breaks some other sites, but after some trial and error, I found that the user agent for TenFourFox 37 gives me the same stripped-down, fast Twitter, so apparently Twitter Mobile only gives you the new layout if your user agent is TenFourFox 38 or higher. Then I went back to TenFourFox and used User Agent Switcher to change the user agent to an iPhone 3 and found the same paired-down site.
