Just happen to see this:

"MacSurf, a web browser port of Netsurf for Mac OS 9 with native TLS"
Downloaded it to the #iBook running #MacOS9 and started MacSurf. I could browse sites like #osnews pretty well actually.

Just mildly disassembling this G4 Cube and it’s impressive.

Sadly it looks like enough parts on this are missing that it’s not easily usable. Would sure love to Mac OS 9 again.

The power button on this Cube is a light capacitive touch sensor that is able to detect touch through the thick plastic top.
The internal block has an impressive clamp to attach itself to the top vent piece.
