       Ok I hecked up, instead of just gutting the machine I was going to use for a cyberdeck I cleaned it up and turned it on 🤷‍♀️

       it's frustrating, it's a really lovely machine but I don't need another OS X Mac and I don't need another Linux/BSD machine, if the dang thing could run OS 9 it would be perfect but it's one model too new

       @Cat I've been wondering what to do with my 2008 model Macbook also... currently just gathering dust still with OS X. OS X got far too heavy-weight for its hardware so it's a real drag, but also the battery no longer works without PSU and can't get replacement batteries for that model (thx a bunch, Apple mofos).

       @acrylicjam it's a drag, they're capable machines but stuck in a weird usefulness limbo

       @Cat I miss my old iBook. Looked exactly like that one. It really was a great machine! Traded it in for a MacBook Pro eventually.Still, have a special place in my heart for it. Was my first Apple laptop. :)

       @Cat Can you boot it into Basilisk and run OS9 on it? Does Basilisk run OS9? Hmm...

       @Cat Yeah would be cool to find a use. I'd like to tbh. Could be a home-server but electricity use is a bit high compared to some other alternatives. idk :o
