Even more radical would be to get some sort of early Mac OS X running on it. One of the DPs, perhaps? And 40 MB of RAM isn't necessarily a problem; Mac OS X 10.0 and 10.1 officially required 128 MB, but could install and run on 64. I once ran it on my Rev C Tray Loader iMac with 32 MB of...

I decided to let OP keep it, to eliminate any confusion. I'll go with a simple "C" until I decide on something else. c

Haha, there's a thread posted by me in that screenshot ("Considering Switch To T-Mobile. Opinions?") I'll agree that I would like to see AppleWorks again. While AW 5 is my favorite version, but 6 would do just as well (plus, with it having already been carbonized, refactoring it for Intel...

Basically, yes! But itself running on an as-yet hypothetical OS with a Mac OS-like UI and all that other stuff I already mentioned. That would be interesting indeed. As I'm typing this post, I realized that A/UX is conceptually very similar to what I'm describing (being able to run standard...

Good questions! I'm not really sure.... I think it would probably be mainly for older Power Macs (I don't think 68k Macs could really handle it), and it would allow for newer software to be ported over relatively easily, to an extent. Let's say it's mainly intended for OldWorld Power Macs up...

Indeed. I suppose the solution, then, would be to make up a compatibility layer. But that's been done!! Apple really did do the right thing when they bought NeXT and retooled NeXTStep into Rhapsody, which eventually became Mac OS X. Their in-house efforts were admirable, but they were too...

It's too bad we can't have an OS that looks like Copland, because it's UI was rather neat. Oh, wait! We actually got just that with Mac OS 8! All that aside, it's too bad that Copland was such a miserable failure, as at its core, it actually was a decent concept. It would be fascinating to...

That's incredible! However, I bet it's so crash-prone that it makes Copland seem usable and reliable by comparison! 🤣 c

Plus, olePigeon was honest and forthright about his usage of LLMs for creating his app, and he explained why he used it. There's nothing wrong with using LLMs to do some things, as long as you clearly disclose the fact and thoroughly test that whatever you used it for is sensible. Exactly...

I noticed! c

And most permanent; A person can usually choose to return to most other grids in life, but not this one. c

It sounds like a highly technical, but rather obscure and unknown corner of the Internet infrastructure, without which the entirety of the Internet might break. c

That icon sort of reminds me of the shape-shifting creature featured in the Star Trek: TNG pilot episode, "Encounter at Farpoint" (it was being abused and coerced by some humanoid species (whose name I forget; it's been a few years since I've seen it) into creating the structure of their...

Ahhhh, that makes sense! Thank you for the explanation! c

Please pardon my naivete, but what is all this for, exactly? c

To each their own, I guess. It doesn't really matter how you run the cables, so long as everything works as intended when you're done. c

I think I've read those stories too. Even before I knew of them, though, I've made an effort to neatly run cabling in PCs I've assembled over the years mainly for three reasons: so they look nice, are easy to work on, and have good airflow so they stay cool. Even though nobody will see it...

Ah, OK. I guess I confused it with 166 megahertz, which is the CPU bus speed on most configurations. c

The MDD has an ATA 166 controller, yes? c

Don't forget about @redphantom, the one who kicked off this project in the first place! c
