Really, Panther would be the better option, being more optimized than 10.2 and stuff. The only reason i'm still running Jag is because i don't have a copy of Panther.

QuadSix50, I would love to purchase the old G5 case from your dad. This would include: the mobo optical drive powersupply case I am completely and totally dead serious. Tell …

I'd prefer Panther if I could manage it as plenty of modern software still runs under it. Realistically though, Jaguar is probably the better option. I'll probably end up trying bo…

Even so, i find that Jaguar runs fine with 256MB...thats what i have on my iMac 333.

I've seen a handful of iMacs up on freecycle here, this is the first one I was quick enough to snag. There was another one yesterday but the guy listed it as being taken without ev…

there's never anything good on my local freecycle! cool find dude!

256MB SO-DIMMs are a bit of a mystery bag...the problem is the early iMacs are a bit finicky about 256MB SO-DIMMs, in that with some, they will only address the first 128MB of the …

Since it was pointed out to me the colour I thought was Blueberry was, in fact, Indigo I have no idea what colour this machine is. What makes it look Bondi Blue in one pic makes it…

Hot damn! I'm trying to find one for my father whose PMG5 1.6 GHz had the processor fail due to overheating (he had put it in one of those cramped cubbyholes some desks come with …

Craigslist. $200. I just ordered 2x512MB from e-bay that should work. It'll give me 1.25GB of RAM which will make Tiger happy. I plan on getting another 2x1GB modules before Leop…

To quote Low End Mac : "There are rumors that some Bondi blue ones were built in January 1999 using the last of the Bondi cases." This is on the iMac 266MHz specs page. Very nice…

Don't think of Bondi as Blue, it was greenish blue, closer to green then blue, basically Teal. Apple never made Bondi 266mhz.

Except that it's *not* Blueberry. Blueberry is instantly recognisable as blue but this is closer to the colour of my Blue and White G3. The spec sticker on the underside backs up t…

Since it's 266mhz, it's a Rev C. blueberry iMac. Cool!

I saw a message on the local FreeCycle group about an "Apple G3 Computer" so I sent off a reply asking to take it off their hands and they agreed. I go out there and it's a Bondi i…

I will be so jealous if this is a freebie.

Cool! Where'd ya get it?

I am now happily posting from my new G5! Specs: 1.6GHz PP G5 256MB RAM <-- This iwll be fixed Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 AGP Pro 8X 64MB Video (has DVI and ADC) 80GB HD Su…

Besides, Front Row's entire raison d'être is to be a simple UI for controlling with a small remote control from a large distance. When you're sitting at the computer, you have the …

"i've got it running on my mini right now. works brilliantly." Right, but with out the DVD playback working. No one to the best of my knowledge has that working outside of the Im…
