I believe that even the best of the iBooks only had g at best, so you'd need a USB with n that works with Leopard PPC.

Added you to the list, as well as @benbranca.Can you link to your blog so I can read the posts when it's time.
I encourage writing up experiences and such and sharing them on this thread or linking to an external site!
Nothing a PCMCIA card won't fix on the cheap, unless its a 12" PowerBook of course.
I will certainly do so as soon as it's online! Still a bit of a work in progress.
I'm planning to record some video of my experiences (with an old camcorder!) and edit it to upload to YouTube during the week.
I'm officially stupid from now on I thought we're starting in June... therefore I put my Windows PC in the storage room and rearranged my desk to have only PPCs here. Just to realise that we're starting in July

And your post woke me up also , been ordering a charger hoping it arrives tomorrow for the first day of the Challenge and just now realised that it's in July
Way ahead of you! I got started, Christmas 2001.I'm officially stupid from now on
Challenge is year-round for me! @amagichnich if you're looking for a real challenge start it now and end when everyone else ends!

I actually use PPCs for most of the time now. But I need one powerful machine for watching and editing fHD and 4K movies as well as running several virtual machines and for compiling. And I play that little online game that requires the newest flash versionChallenge is year-round for me!
So, what's the final decision on devices? Are we going with anything that's compatible with PowerPC, or just things from the PPC Era?
Here is what we have agreed on:
This is the general consensus given to me by several users who criticized my original ruling.
And at least one amused watcher with popcorn seeing how the members will handle the things he's been dealing with since 2001.
I would say yes. I used to have a 3GS and it synced with my PowerBook via iTunes.
"Any device compatible with Leopard and below..."
So basically all latest iOS-devices are back in game again, considering, that with certain iOS-Apps (like iFiles etc) it is possible to connect iOS with PPC via AFP for filesharing, screensharing, cloud-services, streaming music or even video located on the PCC through the iOS-device to any other AirPlay device.

Having already expressed interest back in April (and not having posted anything here since *cough*), I've made up my mind and am going to participate, most likely with my Power Mac G4 1.6 GHz and PB3400c/200. The former runs fine aside from its flaky USB 2.0 PCI card - on which only one port works reliably -, while the latter probably won't see much use, but has at least gotten a minor upgrade via a Cardbus USB card - on which also only one port appears to work, for whatever weird reason. I will have to use a modern Windows PC at work, running proprietary database software, but elsewhere it'll be all PowerPC.
In addition, as more of a console gamer than a PC or Mac one, I'll also try to stick to PPC-based systems there, such as the GameCube/Wii or, while not as old, the PS3 (Cell is PPC-related, right?). Might be a good time to start another playthrough of Metroid Prime or Zelda: Wind Waker, I suppose!
(Edit: posted from said G4, btw; only wish this site was a bit more responsive in its browsers...)
