Another guest star! This time, Matt (aka wicknix) of PowerPC web browser fame and other fascinating projects. He's is probably best known at this point for providing updated builds of TenFourFox in the form of InterWebPPC [https://github.com/wicknix/InterWebPPC]. Not only is he active and helpful on the MacRumors PowerPC Forums [https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/powerpc-macs.145/], he was also kind enough to spend some time with us on here on the show. Thanks again, Matt, for the great conversation! We also discuss our efforts to resurrect the venerable iChat AV to make it work with audio and video chat again!   Wicknix's Github Projects: https://github.com/wicknix?tab=repositories [https://www.codeweavers.com/] Wicknix's contributions to the Macintosh Garden: https://macintoshgarden.org/author/wicknix [https://macintoshgarden.org/author/wicknix]   Email: forkbombpodcast@gmail.com [forkbombpodcast@gmail.com] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forkbombpodcast/ [https://www.facebook.com/forkbombpodcast/] Twitter: @forkbombpodcast https://twitter.com/forkbombpodcast [https://twitter.com/forkbombpodcast] Or leave us a message in the comments section below!
