Load MacRumors on your oldest Mac

[J InTech82]

My avatar is the legacy beast here: a Rev C. key lime clamshell iBook G3/466 with an XGA display.

It certainly ain’t fast on MR, but hey. For science!

It's amazing to see that iBook has just 8 MBs of VRAM, compared to the MacBook Pro I have with 8 GB or VRAM 😂

Oldest Mac is my G4 DA, which I regularly load MR on anyway. So I thought I'd load MR on the oldest OS on my oldest Mac.

What browser is this ?? And how did you get MR to load in OS 9 ?

Mine? That's Classilla on OS 9, it loaded the HTML perfectly fine but threw an encryption error before it could go further.

A catastrophe has struck Classilla: macrumors isn’t accessible anymore from this browser “because they have no common algorithms”

Go directly to the PowerPC page and it works...with a few grumbles.

…But still, I can’t.
I remember I could browse Macrumors some months ago, well I guess now it’s in the past (without a HTTP proxy).

Same iBook with OS9/Classilla...I honestly thought MacRumors couldn't be reached by it anymore?

Wow!! this is cool. I also thought I wasn't able to load it in the past.
Just tried it with Classilla 9.3.3 and it works. thanks

So Classilla 9.3.4b can’t load MacRumors but Classilla 9.3.3 can? Tomorrow I have to try too (it’s like 1 a.m. here in Italy)

At least Firefox 2.0.0.20 still loads it

Ok guys, this is strange:
After reinstalling OS9 and Classilla now I can access macrumors, but the downloading windows has some time errors

Not yet the Macrumors website but Action Retro has got usable if slooooow internet access on his Apple I repro deck

which is impressive in itself.

I just watched this last night - very cool watching Sean play Zork on a Apple1.

I still find hilarious the fact that the WiFi card is way more powerful than the system itself, according to one of the comments in the video.

Well, how about my newest Mac, but emulating PPC, so why not.....
