I bought an iBook G4 1.33ghz single-core with 512mb of RAM and 40gb spinning disk to use as my daily driver. It's perfect for reading Wikipedia and other text-based sites and I just found a really good Bible program specifically made for OSX 10.4. I feel very focused as I don't get side-tracked by YouTube because I can't run it! I almost never program outside of work unless I have an idea for something so I put my more powerful Macbook in the closet! It has definitely brought adventure back to the internet for me instead of the YouTube algorithm kicking my ass every day recommending stuff that I NEED to watch.

How do you get a modern browser on Tiger these days? As far as I know TenFourFox is no longer maintained and nobody forked it either.

  I found a version of TenFourFox that has the moniker "7450" which you can find in their historical releases https://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ https://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/. I wasn't expecting it to work and then it just did.

    That's surprising! I'm a big fan of Tiger and that era of Apple hardware (I have another project in mind to cram a TB of storage into an iPod Mini) though it's a wonder that TenFourFox went on as long as it did really. Maintaining something as complex as a modern web browser for long-obsolete hardware sounds like a gargantuan task, I'd love to be involved in keeping it going but I think it'd be above my ability to meaningfully contribute to.
