Quick update on the iMac G4

I played with it a lot. And ordered upgrades for it (1Gb ram, 500Gb SSD, new pram battery) and spent Father’s Day doing the upgrades. It’s so much faster now!

Currently running a 64Gb partition w 10.4.11/9.2.2 as before. I build software to proxy iMessages to Adium, but that all runs elsewhere so wasn’t disrupted by the wipe.

All the old experimentation is gone, starting from scratch and only installing the good stuff. Browser is locked in as OmniWeb. Xcode, tigerbrew, git/curl/zsh installed. Offices 98 and 2008 installed.

It’s fun.

Spent too much time trying to explore/figure out tilde.club on it this evening.
