Thanks https://PCBWay.com - Today we're installing the latest version of OpenBSD 7.0 - from 2021! - on a 333mhz iMac G3 from 1999. That's right - a totally modern OS! And in the spirit of the PowerPC Challenge, I want to see just how modern of a computing experience we can eek out of this thing.
Thanks for the cameo, @BranchusCreations!
Thank you PCBWay for sponsoring today's retrospective!
