I do use a Mac Mini G4 running Mac OS 9.2 and a Mac IIci running 7.1.
Both are in almost daily use and I try to do as much as I can on them.
Since I've found my way here now, there's something else I can do from
my IIci :-)

It's a learning curve to find workarounds to "modern" problems - which
is part of the joy of using the real Mac OS in 2023! You have to be
ready to "think differently" doing stuff than what you're used to from a
modern machine. That said, add in a cheap-o Android smartphone for stuff
I can't do on the Macintosh (e.g. Online Banking) and I have my perfect
set-up at home.

Games that I regularly run are Sim City 2000, Glider Pro and Warlords II
- among a few more. Here and there Marathon calls. I also still play the
recently released two boxed adventures Silk Dust and Hibernated I,
haven't been able to beat them yet.
