Bravo! A very nice, warm welcome to you!

Lots of people use Mac OS 9, here and elsewhere, it turns out. :) Kinda feels like there is some kind of increase... Maybe because "new tech" is full of shit in both hardware and software?

This is awesome! It's so cool to see someone not just using, but passionately using, a PowerBook G3 on macOS 9.2 in 2025! It makes me wonder if my old Granny's computer from back in the day is still out there kicking around somewhere. I share your "hate for the modern web" sentiment sometimes too!
