Just eyed my tangerine iBook tucked in the corner.

Anyone still keeping these running?
Could it even handle the modern web? Early wifi.

It has classic Mac OS, and I would need a power brick to even start it up. Battery? The power adapter had something akin to an RCA connection.

If I could get text files over to it, it had my most highly tweaked and useful regex packed copy of BBEdit I’ve ever had I loved to see again, along with other archaeology.

Nel 1999 Jobs creò #iBook: colorato, economico, pieno di compromessi. Oggi il #MacBookNeo costa €699. Gruber dice che Jobs lo avrebbe amato. Ha ragione? La risposta vi sorprenderà. Forse.

Sooo... the Macbook Neo uses an iPhone SoC and is a Macbook. I think they should have called it... iBook! 😀

Now if it could run an earlier OS version than macOS Tahoe...

I also wonder if the Neo's A18 SoC's bootloader is unlocked to enable using m1n1 and an Asahi Linux (and maybe *BSD) port in the future.

It would be an interesting pivot for #Apple if the rumoured low-cost MacBook had a touch screen and ran iPadOS—an #iBook rather than a #MacBook. https://www.macrumors.com/2026/02/20/low-cost-macbook-latest-rumors/

#OpenBSD on #iBook G4 status: got it upgraded to 7.8, succcesfully installed rsync but not chromium or emacs, installed nano instead, added my normie user to wheel, rebooted, then X was borked and I couldn't be bothered to trace the cause of that so I ended the day's attempt.

We got there in the end.

This took a couple of days to figure out how to boot custom code and even get away from Open Firmware’s tight clutches.

I hope that #Fedi is proud of me for dealing with the bullshit of Open Firmware.

An iBook G3 running my test kernel code. It says “M4 Microkernel [Commit HEAD] PowerPC, built on Dec 27 2025 @ 21:30:27 Framebuffer: 0x9c008000 (1024 x 768) Open Firmware has been quiesced successfully.”

A further away shot of the iBook G3, same text as before.

@BastilleBSD Got an iBook G3 “Snow White”, a Cisco 7841 IP Phone, and a StarFive VisionFive 2 RISC-V board!

I think I’ve done well this year and it’s more to add to my Apple collection and overall gear.

An iBook G3 on the left, the RISC-V board is sitting on the palm rest of the iBook, and a Cisco 7841 on the right, on a call to my recreation of the UK “Speaking Clock”.

A staged early-2000s computer desk setup lit with blue and magenta accent lighting. On the left, a white iBook G4 laptop displays SpaceHey, a modern MySpace-style social network, in a Firefox-based browser. In the center is a Dell Dimension 2200 tower connected to a Dell CRT monitor showing Windows XP with the game Zuma Deluxe running, using a Dell keyboard and mouse. Beige Harman/Kardon desktop speakers sit beside the monitor. Spread across the desk are period accessories including a Motorola Razr flip phone, a blue Tamagotchi Connection, a TI-84 graphing calculator resting on an open handwritten notepad, a black Game Boy Advance SP, and a blue 3.5-inch floppy disk labeled “Plop Bootloader.” A GTA III jewel case lies near the front edge of the desk, and a Maran Illustrated Windows XP: 101 Tips book stands behind the computers.

I saw this and thought of several of my fedi friends. Hope this brightens a moment of your day!
