Argh I really should quit uploading fuzzy pictures of whatever new old computer's come into my collection and get back to posting art. ><;;; Um, but this WILL be the last for awhile, I promise.

Technically, this is the computer I've wanted the longest-- like since 1998 or 1999. Also making it the FIRST computer I ever wanted and the spark of my infatuation with computers in general, Macs in particular. It's a first-gen 1998 bondi blue iMac, running Mac OS 9.2 and OSX 10.2. It ran today, but currently won't power up due to a locked up PMU chip or bad battery in the Logic Board (hopefully, because it had trouble booting up and was CONVINCED it the year was 1973 the first time I started it). The best part? It was a freebie! The owner seemed slightly relieved to be rid of it. ^^''

I call her Immeline, that's her little sister Eve (full name Evangeline Bea Macintosh) in the BG. xD

What are the specs on that one? I'm looking for some older iMacs with ATI cards to play with, since my nieces seem to like e17 and those would run it very well.

Then again, even crappy Macs tend to cost a lot due to their Appleness, which is a pain, since I just want a low-end integrated computer, instead of fiddling with a tower, monitor, etc. etc.

Anyway, nice- this is cute.

RAM? That's almost perfect.

the max/factory RAM depends on what revision you have, it could have anywhere from 64MB to 512MB

Right, because I need exactly 64 MB of RAM. That would be an excellent, perfect e17 computer.

oh good, i just checked some of the really early ones had 32MB, but RAM for those is really cheap if you needed to upgrade :D

Nice, nice. Now I can get my nieces to stop whining over wanting to play with a computer AND it won't have to be sluggish or hard to carry around/put away. Hopefully I can get one as a freebie- in fact, I have a friend with a later G3 iMac they might think is useless, but it has 256 or so, so it could run most Linux programs perfectly.

Man, I love making use of older computers so younger generations can benefit from technology. T^T Why is it so easy?
