This is fantastic. To me, this is one of the greatest side-effects of agentic coding; adding new functionality to vintage, abandoned or obsolete hardware. It gives me hope for a solarpunk future where e-waste gets a more functional second life.

When I owned a iMac G3, the Classilla browser was surprisingly good. Looks like development ended in 2021.
Also, the branding was "Mac OS 9".

That's impressive, too bad modern web requires more than 2000x the transistor density to run JS at decent speed. We really f*** up.

Cool! I've been wondering for some time if a good low-distraction but pleasant environment could be an old Mac OS on a (good looking) Hackintosh. The UI was baked with UX research at least.
