Just happen to see this:

https://github.com/mplsllc/macsurf"MacSurf, a web browser port of Netsurf for Mac OS 9 with native TLS"
Downloaded it to the #iBook running #MacOS9 and started MacSurf. I could browse sites like #osnews pretty well actually.

The power button on this Cube is a light capacitive touch sensor that is able to detect touch through the thick plastic top.
The internal block has an impressive clamp to attach itself to the top vent piece.

Oh, hey!
It was on this day May 6th, in 1998 that Apple launched the iMac in a world of beige that turned around the company. -

Sadly it looks like enough parts on this are missing that it’s not easily usable. Would sure love to Mac OS 9 again.

@fistfulofdave If not mistaken #MacOS9 has no "minimize" function.
So why not minimizing your windows to the Dock? You can also change a setting in "System Settings" -> "Desktop & Dock" so that a double click on the window title bar minimizes it. -
We’ve been in squircle jail beforeI’m not using macOS 26 Tahoe yet – hopefully I’ll never have to; 🤞 the next version of macOS is less of a dumpster fire, and I’ll just skip Tahoe entirely.
But, looking over other people’s shoulders, and listening to the groans and cries, I’m struck by something. We’ve been here before. Icon jail, I mean (“Squircle” jail specifically in Tahoe’s case):

It is entirely possible that what is actually happening is it's going to sleep, and then failing to wake up (which I think is a side effect of the modded ATX power supply). I've now slid the sleep timer in the Energy Saver panel to Never, but I'm too dumb and impatient to wait and see if this solves it, and I currently have OS9.2 installing to the IDE drive. Wish me luck, lol.

Just installed Mac OS 9.2 on an iBook G3, for the first time ever! 🚀
Upgraded the RAM, wrestled with installs, and played some absolute classics: Doom, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, Unreal Tournament + more 🎮

I found a #powermacg4 tower at our local thrift/food/second hand hall. It was sold by the adult dvd store, for some reason.
Anyway, it followed me home and after reinstalling the OS to get rid of the prior owner's data I have to say there's not THAT much difference between #macos9 and #macosx

People complain if I put Microsoft Bob on #macos9, or when I destroy a #retrocomputing DVD drive. But out there in the real world people are building things like this and nobody bats an eye.
That's right, a Linux distro where NodeJS is the entire userland. And they call it "lightweight"... compared to...?!?!
"thanks" @nixCraft for making me aware of this.
-
Come on, we all give #Bob a hard time. But let's be honest with each other. It's okay, this is a safe space.
-
We finally did it people, true #usability on #macos on my #g3
-
Total success! Working CD drive, kind of working OS (as well as #macos9 ever worked at least)
