Latest NEWS・Extending the functionality of Mac OS 9.3, and Beyond ! Post

I reached out to Jamie Zawinski (https://www.jwz.org) today.
One of the founders of Netscape (http://home.mcom.com/) and Mozilla.org (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/).
Jamie (https://www.jwz.org/about.html) probably also wrote most of your screen savers (https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/).

What did you ask him, if I may ask? Writing a new browser for Mac OS? ;-)

Sure Bolkonskij, you and everyone else may always ask. :-)

It’s all a bit foggy tho, I think I fell into a trance and ranted on and on in my email. At one point I might have mentioned how awesome his http10proxy (https://www.jwz.org/hacks/http10proxy.pl) hack was.
Maybe also something about having screen time -can’t recall. No that can’t be it, I’m sure I must have made a typo, as I surely meant screen saver.

Ps. Jamie, if you happen to drop in. I do promise not to show any mail replies.
Done that one time only, to show my community I follow through -when I act.

When App Store came and I said that I newer use it, because if I cannot install offline it will be wasted money someday..but it will be interesting if it's not in this case.
But anyway Mac OS 9 does not have any this kind of problems. It has resurrected forever  ;)
