Technically speaking, they should have transferred the OS license with the computer itself. If they didn't do that then, properly speaking, it is the responsibility of the purchas…

A Mac without an OS, when it is capable of working, is only a trip to the seaside short of being a boat-anchor. The idea that a recipient should put up with having no OS for 'lega…

I think that most people would consider it legal if it is the version of Mac OS X that the machine originally shipped with. Apple doesn't have anything like serials numbers or act…

I think it's too slow for Leopard, it's a dual 450 Mhz PPC...

usually if you posses the disc that was used to install it (either Apple-Shipped or Retail) then it means you own it. Just hop onto eBay and find a 10.4 disc. It will most likely…

Nobody cares [about the legality of it]... (edited for offensiveness)

Hi there, I have a G4, which I just got, running OSX 10.4 and I need to know if I'm running a legal copy. Does Mac issue anything like the Window$ certificate? Is there any kind o…

Thanks for all the replies. For now they're sitting around until I can decide what to do with them. I guess I'll dig out my old ethernet card and use it for SSH or something ...

Good score! I would love to have an iMac g3 or an iBook g3 to play with. All these posts about iBook g3s are killing me. THE CLAMSHELLS ARE SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just got a bondi blue G3 imac. It has 192mb of RAM and a 4gb HD. Running OsX 10.2. The side door is missing, but the case is in nice condition. Came with Apple USB keyboard a…

It probably fell on something hard like a slate floor, carpet would have cushioned the fall. Anyway I completely ripped it apart and washed everything, looks new except for those …

They must have dropped that from one HELL of a height, mine has fallen off several things and the handles are still very much in tact. Last time it fell it hit my Dell Dimension L…

great! I have one and love it. A vrey fast mac. I onley have 10.2 disks. Sigh. Enjoy.

Got a B&W G3 (my first non beige Mac) for free locally. Needs 2 new handles (fell off a table), but the rest is in very good condition. G3-300/512K 128MB RAM (I upped it to…

Sounds like a good machine. The 37GB hard drive is probably not the original as I think the 400MHz DV iMacs shipped with 10, 12 or 20GB drives. Click to expand... Unformatted i…

Sounds like a good machine. The 37GB hard drive is probably not the original as I think the 400MHz DV iMacs shipped with 10, 12 or 20GB drives. It will make a very good OS 9 machi…

Images of the boxes and computer are posted on 68k flickr.

What color? Graphite I presume. Click to expand... Blueberry. These came in the same colors as the original five flavor models. Just upgraded to 9.2.2 also. DVD player works.…

What color? Graphite I presume.

Its here. Better than I expected. Original box and foam with all the CDs including an OS 9.2 CD. Matching keyboard and hockey puck mouse. Booted up to OS 9.2.1. Internal modem…

There not a bad computer, I did 2 years of University with one. They take normal PC100-133 ram, which installs easy and are quiet because of they don't have a fan. With some more r…

I envy you so much...

Nice one! It is amazing how little these iMacs sell for these days, given how functional they still are as modern computers.

wow local pickup WITH original box/software!...doesn't get much better than that! Take pics... I don't recall what the slot loading imac boxes looked like!

I just won an ebay auction on an iMac DV for $11. 400mhz, 64mb ram, maybe a 40gb hard drive. Local pickup hopefully tomorrow. It has the original box and software CDs too. Mor…
