As scandalous as this may sound, it may be well worth having a
Windows machine around for your internet duties; even a simple
Windows XP machine of a vintage similar to your Quicksilver can be
kept up to date with the insane demands of today's web.
On top of that, Leopard is rapidly falling behind in the
compatibility stakes now that Lion is here; it won't be long before
it too (along with PowerPC machines as a whole) shall be considered
too old for even the most basic web functionality. Chrome was
Intel-only for OSX from the beginning; Firefox too is now solely an
Intel-only application. Adobe Flash dropped PowerPC support just
after v10.1, with many Flash-content sites now demanding Flash 11. It
seems somewhat ironic that Flash 11 still runs poorly on all but the
most powerful of this year's Intel-based Macs, yet machines that
pre-date the turn of the millenium can still play Flash 11 videos
smoothyl.
Don't bother upgrading to Leopard, it will cause MANY more headaches
than you think it may cure.
