Ah, yeah, sounds like more firepower is necessary for sure then!
lol I remember those. The newer stuff is definitely less clunky than that OS. I also learned to type on a Mac (Apple IIe)! Prior to this laptop, the last Mac I had used was one of the flat screen iMacs when they were still pretty new (2004/5ish I think). Anyway, good luck!
Edit: have you checked out framework? Those have got me feeling some kind of way.
Yeah the ability to upgrade and repair them is a real draw for me. I wish more stuff (electronics in particular) was built with that in mind. Plus no vendor lock-in, like you said. Although it might be fun to play with asahi…
