Is the objective of this challenge to use the PPC hardware, or use retro software?
My Dual 1 GHz MDD G4 running Lubuntu 14.04 PPC is a competent machine. Current mainline builds o…

I agree with ianj (and Cory). And when I tried to use a Kanga indefinitely it was just flatly impossible given the need to interface with modern networks (of which I am not the ad…

Totally possible, but slow. When I interned at the local newspaper office where I wrote articles on a Mac mini powered by a G4 processor (it was the original MacMini from 2005.) Wh…

I was challenged to up the ante and use my LCIII for a couple of days. With Mulberry, BBEdit and MS Office I was able to work quite happily - although I did later run into some dif…

For reasons already mentioned by Cory5412, I have difficulty considering machines running older versions of Mac OS X to be "retro" anything, and I don't find the idea of using it t…

Really not much of a challenge. I did just this (involuntarily) last month, and it really wasn't too painful. My Retina MacBook died (the backlight would come on, the fans would …

A 15" PowerBook G4 (1.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 40GB HDD) has been ordered! I also ordered an 80GB Western Digital 9.5mm 2.5" IDE hard drive, which I will upgrade it with.

If you haven't already bought a TiBook, don't. They're very pretty, but they're a pain to take apart and maintain and they're quite physically unreliable. I also never found them t…

Would a standard PC mini-USB drive work if I used a mini-USB to 2 USB ports cable?
Edit: Would a powered hub help? I can't find the cable.
Edit 2: The model I'm getting has USB 2…

It doesn't. The USB SuperDrive requires a modern Mac without an internal SuperDrive, it takes more power from the USB ports.

OK!
Edit: Total: US$75-ish. Can probably be offset by selling some stuff (like my iBook G3).

Plans have changed. I am not going with a TiBook, but an Aluminium PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz. I am getting an 80GB hard drive for it. (Total: US$60)
Is 1GB RAM sufficient or should I g…

8.1 won't run on a TiBook. Maybe someday OS 9 though I do 1080p video editing though. Maybe one of those G5 OS 9 hacks.

Color Classic Fan info? — #2
I have been unable to find out what the CFM and the dBA of the original Color Classic fan is. While I am doing an upgrade, I would like to move more air and perhaps use a fan that…
