A photo of a black PowerBook G3 sitting on a desk, booted to the Mac OS 9 desktop. The machine is big and chunky, but also has subtle curves to it, and the trackpad is HILARIOUSLY tiny compared to modern Macs.

It's aliiiiive! And even though I know my current MacBook Pro is UTTERLY silent at all times, it's still very weird to have an OLD computer also being completely silent too. I'm subconsciously used to hearing all the clicking of the hard disk.

Current project: Installing this into my old PowerBook G3! I'm also hoping that I can create a disk image of the existing hard drive and clone it onto one of the old external FireWire hard disks I still have floating around. 🤞🏻
