Upon coming home from the war, I upgraded my home PC to an iMac 21 in screen. SInce then, I have purchased rather cheaply two older iMacs, one with the single unit with the colors on top, and one with basketball looking base and adjustable screen. I have upgraded the basketball significantly, the other is waiting in the box. I plan on using them in the house as music boxes, so to speak. It is amazing a ten year old iMac can play YouTube videos over wi-fi like new ones can. They look pretty cool, sort of retro Mac I think.
I also invested in used Roombas and a couple of Scoobas, the vacuuming and scrubbing robots. I was always interested in robotics and now I am letting them take over! I love them, so much so I have started buying used ones, refurbishing them and am going to start selling them. People love them, and I want experience fixing and running them. They are pretty cool.

Big MAC attack
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Re: Big MAC attack
I have one of those adjustable screen iMacs too for iTunes, web surfing etc but it is out of date for a lot of stuff. Wish I could update it more.

Re: Big MAC attack
That is what I am going to use this one for. This is what they look like for those who avoid being assimilated by Macs.Bleyseng wrote:I have one of those adjustable screen iMacs too for iTunes, web surfing etc but it is out of date for a lot of stuff. Wish I could update it more.
Very retro. Too bad I can't upgrade it past 1 GB of RAM, although for what Mac's do this is pretty good for playing songs on.
Now to get working on the iMac G3.

Re: Big MAC attack
Before I gave away my Bondi Blue iMac G3 I had 10.4 running on it. If I remember correctly. 10.4 was the last PowerPC compatible iteration of OS X.
I kinda miss that dumb little hockey puck mouse that came with those early iMacs.

Re: Big MAC attack
A gumdrop Mac. We still have two of those. Running a Mac Mini now, with a second ancient G-5 tower, and a power book. Retiring the G-5 as we have a used 27" iMac from 2009 on the way.
