How do you think the bold design choices of vintage tech like the iBook G3 influenced today’s laptops?

I put a SSD in my PowerBook G3 and OS9 screams. Just shows how much that spinning disk was bottle necking the computer. Back then engineers had to be efficient with the limited computer resources.

I totally agree! It's amazing how much better these old computers perform with an SSD.
