"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.

I made a thing! Come help out?
retrorepro.wiki — a catalogue of modern reproduction parts for vintage computers. Reloaded logic boards, 3D-printable brackets, replacement chips, analog board recreations and more.
Mac-heavy right now (that's what my bookmarks look like), but Commodore and IBM PC sections are coming.
Missing something? Account requests are open.

(Who wants to make a logo?)

“sit”, the modern Unix-based StuffIt archive creation tool, has been updated with a few bug fixes:
- better support for special characters, so you can include “Work ƒ” or “Project.π“ or “Business®App™” and preserve those names when expanding.
- names containing a slash could not be expanded on classic Mac OS
- never overwrite an existing file; if “archive.sit” exists then create “archive-1.sit” instead, and so on.
