Just wear the fucking mask, Bob

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

I wouldn't recommend using OSX versions that old, they'd likely be riddled with security issues.

Having said all that you'd probably be better off just dumping it and getting a cheap, low powered Celeron-based computer. Even the newer Chromebooks (with the Celeron 2955U) are roughly equivelent in power to the G5. CPUs have come a long way in a decade.

I wouldn't be real worried of attacks on the internet running a PowerPC.

I also like the Chromebook idea.

It's unlikely, but I wouldn't recommend people run Windows 98
Windows 98 is still going to run on Intel though

FWIW, MacBook Pro (Mid 2007) scores 3296
