Apple has now Safari. It's a good browser, but just run in OS X, like
Mozilla. :-(

I think Mozilla is a good and the best choice for who still uses OS 9. If it
had the last version, of course.

I use OS X in my house, in an old iMac 333. But I have and work with a very
old powerbook G3 233 without cache and passive matrix screen. :-P Jaguar is
very very slow in my PB.

In Brazil, mac's are very expensive. We can't buy a mac every year.

Where's the mac community that still uses the MacOS9?

This is my question.  Do you understand?

Sorry for the bad english (I speak portuguese) and thanks for your answer.
