# Old computer challenge

I feel a little bit of a fraud being in #old-computer-challenge on
libera.chat, having never actually done the old computer
challenge[1]. So, I will be starting the challenge this coming
Monday, 20-03-2023!


## Hardware

I have decided to take the challenge on this occasion using an Apple
G3 Wallstreet Powerbook[2]. Specifications as follows:

* 300mhz G3 Single core processor
* 512mb RAM
* 60Gb HDD (spinning rust)
* CDROM
* 14" Screen
* 1 mouse button (Surely this alone is a challenge!)


## Operating system

Currently it has OSX 10.2 or 10.3 and an old version of Linux Mint.
This may well change depending on my annoyance levels ...


## Initial thoughts

I will try not to cheat and just use it as a terminal connected to my
normal machines'  tmux session. 

This should be an opportunity to test out some alternative software
to that I normally use.

I hope it still works ...
