texte = I gave my 5 yr old son a PowerPC 8100 about 3 years ago, it's an old beige G3, that he uses for playing the Learning Adventures series on. I got it when a startup that I worked for went under (imagine that). It's a great computer for my son's games, I personally wouldn't want my website being served from it.Are you paying for this hosting service or is this your own box? If you're paying for it, I would look to upgrade services or move to another provider. If it's your box, any chance of upgrading it to some a little more contemporary? If you're getting some freebie hosting with this one, then I'd still look around for something that's affordable, if your site is at all important to you. Hopefully the current provider backs up your site to zip disk each night :-)My opinions of course and you may or may not be in any position to move your site off that server for whatever reasons, but I would think that yes, it is a bit overworked, plus the outdated WebCat alone...all the extras you're missing with version 4.x.GK > I'd like to hear some experienced WebCats' view on this: > > My site is hosted on a Mac 8100 running OS 9 (I think), WebStar and > WebCatalogue 2 or 3.
