Geeky Yet Waterproof

The server I was using for my blog up until now was a Titinium PowerBook G4, which I had drafted out of communal use. But I have two ancient computers sitting in my room that have nothing to do, because, to put it bluntly, they’re too slow to do anything.



But wait — serving web pages is an easy job (as long as it’s not something like this). So I cloned the TiBook’s hard drive onto a 120GB external drive, and then connected that to an iMac G3 with 400MHz processor and 384MB RAM. Yes, a 400MHz processor and 384MB of RAM. It’s doing fine.
