The Old Computer Challenge was conceived by Solene Rapenne in 2021,
inviting people from all walks of life to experience a single week in
July with an old machine. The aim of that challenge was to both
highlight and downplay the importance of modern hardware and the recent
world of popular technology.

This seems really cool! The challenge is made even easier from the fact
people port stuff like Discord to Windows 9x!

Too bad it already started. I'd have loved to take this on... :|
