Remember when everything started with “i”? Things seemed more light-hearted and personal back then.

Just eyed my tangerine iBook tucked in the corner.
Anyone still keeping these running?
Could it even handle the modern web? Early wifi.It has classic Mac OS, and I would need a power brick to even start it up. Battery? The power adapter had something akin to an RCA connection.
If I could get text files over to it, it had my most highly tweaked and useful regex packed copy of BBEdit I’ve ever had I loved to see again, along with other archaeology.

Nel 1999 Jobs creò #iBook: colorato, economico, pieno di compromessi. Oggi il #MacBookNeo costa €699. Gruber dice che Jobs lo avrebbe amato. Ha ragione? La risposta vi sorprenderà. Forse.
🎙️ Buon ascolto! @diggita @tecnologia @tecnologia

Apple ist echt nachhaltig: Sie haben einfach ihre alten übrig gebliebenen Gehäuse vom #iBook neu bunt lackiert und kloppen dort die Überbestände des Prozessors vom #iPhone 16 rein. Und um Müll zu vermeiden, liegt erst gar kein Netzteil bei! Und die #Apple Jünger so: "Yeahr #MacbookNeo!"

We got there in the end.
This took a couple of days to figure out how to boot custom code and even get away from Open Firmware’s tight clutches.
I hope that #Fedi is proud of me for dealing with the bullshit of Open Firmware.

@BastilleBSD Got an iBook G3 “Snow White”, a Cisco 7841 IP Phone, and a StarFive VisionFive 2 RISC-V board!
I think I’ve done well this year and it’s more to add to my Apple collection and overall gear.

I saw this and thought of several of my fedi friends. Hope this brightens a moment of your day!

A nice evening with some #Crémant de Bourgogne and #Warcraft on my "new" #ibook G3
I have such memories of this game playing on my old #386. But I also remember the game taking just a few 1.4MB of ARJ compressed floppies and not 80Mb+ as the Mac version seems to be.
But I should have read mission objectives. Because I have explored the map and killed all the enemies and then later found out that was not the mission.

HTTPS including TLS 1.3 and SSH2. Configuring #Classilla with Crypto Ancienne (https://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/carl.html) to work as HTTPS proxy.
And doing so with the use of #ssheven (https://github.com/cy384/ssheven) to ssh into a local server.
Now I have a #MacOS9 laptop to replace my #MacMIniG4 as my "Classic Mac" so the mini can do new adventures with #MorphOS. But first I will spend some time setting up MachTen.

Now after installing #MacOS9 on an #Apple #iBook G3 600MHz I did some benchmark against my #MacMiniG4 also running MacOS9 (via the ROM hacked image).
The #PowerPC G3 in this iBook surprisingly slow. I expected half of CPU performance, of the G4 not less than a third compared to the 1.2GHz #PPC G4 in the Mini. And it's rather close with the built in reference result of a #Powermac G3 300MHz.
The FPU benchmark looks better though...

Fantastic! #TotallyNormalComputing
Booting #MacOS9 Installer from USB, and without even touching #OpenFirmware. I really like the community for this kind of service!
'Mac OS 9.2.2 "boot kit" for booting your G3/G4 from an USB stick' by that-ben on Macintosh Repository just works out of the box! On a #powerpc #G3 #ibook with USB1.
And it was kinda fast to boot and install too. My #Powerbook got some company now!.

Ordered some #ram for my #Apple #iBook #G3 #Clamshell . The clamshell has a single slot, but I found it was cheaper buying a 512Mb set (2x256Mb), so the other one will go into the #Powerbook #G3 #Wallstreet i have in storage at my parent's. -
#retrocomputing Fediverse, help needed! I need to find an early #yellowdog #linux for #ppc , preferably something along 1.x or 2.x . I want to install it on my #apple #iBook #G3 #Clamshell : I'm trying to recreate the laptop I had the first year at the university. Unfortunately all the oldest links seems broken, I could only find the latest versions :(
