How Far Back in Time Can I Take My Website's Design?
Is there a collection of Linux virtual machine images I could use to run these old browsers? There's https://infinitemac.org/ for MacOS and Windows 3/95/98 VMs, but I've had a hard time getting Linux binaries from the early 90s working.

The Future of the Web Is VNC
I use this for retrocomputing, in a way, to be very silly! tenox7's WRP [Web Rendering Proxy] basically runs headless Chrome and renders pages to gif/png/jpg and shoves them back at a client browser.

I just picked up a collection of old Macs. Which should I build a gaming PC out of?
Just like the PowerBook G3 Pismo I have, the iBook uses commonly available 18650 cells, so it's easy to rebuild the battery. With built-in AirPort antennas, you can add an AirPort card and get WiFi (has to be Wireless B though, and sometimes there are issues with encryption so you usually have to run an open access point to connect). Now this is the crazy part, but you can run Web Rendering Proxy on a Raspberry Pi or other, more powerful machine, then use an old browser like Internet Explorer to browse the web. It mostly works, and it's a pretty fun way to get some strange looks in the coffee shop.

Working graphical HTML browser on AXP?
Depending on what you're trying to do, you can use a "vintage" web browser and something like Web Rendering Proxy to make the page work.
- Connect to internet
- A buddy gave me his 2011 MBP to upgrade for him, so I stuck in an SSD and 8gb RAM, and with the help of Opencore Legacy Patcher, I got Ventura running great on it! If you have an old Mac, I would really recommend doing this, they still have a lot of life left in them!
- WRP – Web Rendering Proxy
- 16 bit Netscape Navigator for Windows 3.1 still can browse the web
- Getting the printer going didn’t even compare with trying to get on the internet. Win95 and IE 5.5
