Going old school

Posted Sunday December 23rd 2007 from 53.7537, -0.3641

This Christmas I will be mostly accessing the Internet using an Apple Macintosh PowerBook 1400cs (PPC 603e) 166MHz with 32MB of R.A.M. and a 400MB hard drive running Mac OS 8.1; my browser options are Netscape 4.8, Internet Explorer 5.0.2, iCab 2.9.9 or Opera 5. For rendering speed, JavaScript, CSS and images have been disabled; now we'll see if your pages are marked up semantically (that's right - those users with obsolete hardware and outdated browsers they warned you about - I'm one of them now). This machine actually supports 802.11b through a 16-bit PCMCIA card - not bad considering I originally bought it in 1998 (I paid £890, earned through 6 weeks of summer work).

Some good resources:
