Apples support for iPods is incredible. This #iPod mini (128GB upgraded) released in early 2005. It's support ranges from #OSX 10.2 Jaguar up until today with MacOS.
And it syncs and plays modern format like Apple Lossless (ALAC) and AAC 320kbit on it's original firmware. Though the Apple Music app on modern #MacOS seems to lack the feature to remove songs so I used the #Powerbook for music management via #iTunes instead.

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.

I was able to get a copy of the Xcode Developer DVD image which included the full Xcode 3.1.4 install. Thanks Wayback Machine!
From there I installed TigerBrew and am now using the ported Homebrew to install Curl.
This is *not* fast, it has been compiling and testing openssl3 for over 3 hours now. As long as it works in the end!
Also, this old version of the OSX Terminal doesn't support 256 colors.

A rare find. A Macintosh SE outfitted with a hardware user authentication system created by mystical Bene Gesserit engineers that requires the prospective user to successfully pass the Gom Jabbar Test of Humanity.
(Of those who successfully pass the test, only the Kwisatz Haderach will be granted root / admin level access to the system.)
