Since I was a kid, I would download Apple TV ads that Apple would put on their website. Anyway, here's yet another.

Not sure what this one was called but it is for iPhoto.

Neat!

#Christmas is the time of year for enjoying the classics. And this
Swedish computer game from the mid 90s is one those #classics.

Installed Power #MachTen 4.1.4 and upgraded to 5.0.5. After startup I got reminded quickly that backspace didn't erase characters but 'stty erase "^H"' fixed that.

MachTen is bundled with #afterstep but very few other binaries. and compiling OpenSSL might take some time...

Does anyone know any repo of precompiled #ppc binaries for this platform?

Holy shit!!! Watch till the end. #iBook

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!.

Bought myself a #G3 laptop (#ibook 600MHz). Wanted something to run both #MacOS9 and OSX 10.1 #puma again.

Target Disk Mode to my #Powerbook 12" works perfectly but apparently booting the macos9 installer isn't as easy as osx. How do I get #macos installer to boot from a local drive, don't know.

And the CD Drive doesn't work (and it seems my trusty old Powerbook can't calibrate the laser to burn disks any more either)

Around 20 years ago and yet so damn timeless. Macs used to have such inspiring design.

The best and my most favorite iTunes icon was never used for the app. You can only find it on the boxes of iMacs and other Macs that shipped with iTunes v1.0 at the time — around 2001.

Any #VintageApple folks have any idea where/if I might find either a replacement battery for a first gen clamshell #ibook, or someone who might be able to rebuild one? It’s such a great little machine, I’d love to be able to use it when it’s not plugged it, and for it to not forget its settings every time I shut it down.

A colleague from work gave me his old #Apple #iBook G3.
It's still functional but the plastic casing has this strange white fog to it.
Any ideas on how to refurbish it to its former glory?
Also: What should I avoid to do?

Got my iBook G3 cleaned up, overclock fixed. Pictures taken.

Yes, the apple and sleep light both glow green, and yes the battery holds a charge! I love this little thing but I want a Powerbook G3 instead, so this is gonna go.

It even has the distinctive iBook keyboard smell!
