Final report  for OCC  4 2024  edition. The  plucky iMac  did chug
along just fine,  and I'm proud of it.  Nothing spectacular there,
as the heat  limited my usage to  it and the thin  client (aka the
slow  computer challenge).  I did  have  to pop  into the  virtual
desktop a  couple times over  the week to  take care of  bills and
other life  stuffs. The modern  web is  pretty hostile to  the old
iron of yesteryear.  Luckily, once you take the  offramp and enjoy
the rest of  the information superhighway, smolnet,  the island of
forgotten tech is still welcoming if not booming.

I've certainly enjoyed this OCC more than the year where I limited
myself to  roughly 33.6k modem  speeds (38400), which  forced text
mode  only  usage.  Including  the  slow  computer  (old  by  most
standards,  slow by  more), which  is  more of  my solarpunk,  low
energy, low heat terminal the event was a lot of fun. I especially
enjoyed  quake  (and  a  little  q2) with  the  regulars  of  OCC.
Definitely would do again, and  hopefully we can occasionally have
some fun throughout the year too. I might even be able to mumble a
bit on a fancy machine - what luxury!

In  the  end,  learning  some  new tricks  and  tips  coping  with
old/slow/forgotten computers continues to challenge and delight. I
am  especially happy  with the  community hanging  out on  irc and
apologize that I  didn't take advantage of the forum  so much this
year. There's always next year though.
