I don't like treating the forums like a personal blog, but I just wanted to write out my thoughts to ClassicHasClass/Cameron K, in case he chances by here and reads this. 

Firstly, I'd like to thank him for being a forerunner in the "running new software on obsolete platforms". While not the first, and certainly not the last, he's probably the most stubborn and notable for his efforts to keep PowerPC Macs alive. While I personally don't use them or benefit from his work anymore (I did use it in my teen years though!) I did want to thank him anyways. The idea that Nekoware II or any of the other stuff I, or anyone else here is working on, would have gotten as far without Cameron's work is nonsense. 

I hope you come around here man - you were one of the good Nekochanners that never made the hop over. While we didn't always agree on things, I appreciate everything you ever took to the time to write and I hope that Talos II is treating you well. It's a good time to quit - Firefox is basically in the trash dump now. I don't mean to be a douche or act all elitist, but it's really gone down hill and while I like Waterfox and Pale Moon/Basilisk for what they are, they're not Firefox anymore. Mozilla has become an activist organization instead of a competitor, Edge has been turned into Webkit, and the whole browser standard shit has come full circle with Microsoft again using someone else's product to piggyback its code (IE, for those who don't know, started off as a fork of Mosaic).

Take a long rest, and while I'm not confident someone will take up your torch, know you were appreciated by thousands across the world for your hard work. I certainly will not forget, TenFourFox when I was a 16 year old and got pissed that Firefox stopped updating on my Leopard-running Powerbook G4.
