![]() I mention them as mere suggestions, hoping to have enough time in the next weeks to attempt them myself and write a more thorough follow-up. I haven’t tested them, they are certainly not for the average user, and may ultimately be risky, not work, and end up being a colossal waste of time. (I haven’t Internet Explorer installed on that Mac, but somehow I don’t think it’d make a difference.)Īfter reading this page on the Simplenote website, I’m thinking perhaps there are a couple of alternatives if you really, really want to browse/write/sync your notes at all costs on a Mac OS 8 machine. I tried accessing the Simplenote website using iCab 2.99, Opera 5 and Netscape Communicator 4.7, and the results were a blank page with a text box, a URL redirect loop on signing in, and a browser crash respectively. I couldn’t do tests with Mac OS 8.5/8.6, though I suspect that if you have a capable Mac and a suitable version of iCab or Opera (or maybe even Internet Explorer 5), you could still be able to access the Simplenote Web interface. This afternoon I made several different attempts with my PowerBook 5300 (100 MHz PowerPC CPU, 64 MB RAM) running Mac OS 8.1, to no avail. Things start getting trickier if you’re on a Mac with older versions of the Mac OS. Classilla correctly renders the modern, iPad-flavoured Simplenote interface, and you can also use the old one if you so prefer. On Mac OS 9, this is accomplished rather effortlessly using Classilla and enabling JavaScript for the Simplenote website. ![]() Nothing conclusive, naturally, I just want to share a few results of my initial foray into the matter.įirst and foremost: as you may have guessed, there isn’t a ‘Simplenote client’ for Mac OS 9 or earlier versions, so your best option on a vintage Mac is to access your Simplenote account and your notes using the Web interface. Today I was wondering about possible solutions for when you want to throw a classic Mac OS machine in this mix of note-synchronisation heaven, so I did a little investigation. ![]() It’s really thrilling to be able to write a note on whatever Mac I’m using and having it on the iPhone when I’m out and about. The combination of Notational Velocity on my modern Macs, and Simplenote (both the service and the iPhone app, of course) is therefore essential to me. I have already talked about the importance of note-taking and note-syncing in my workflow (and creative flow).
