Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.

They can give them to me. :)
Or, more realistically, donate them to a charity or orphanage.

With such quantity it is possible to curtail mountains.

They should give them to 50 poor PC-using children who have nothing better. My first Mac was an iMac G3, and I only replaced it about a month ago!

They could always donate them to a school. . . Oh. Never mind.

First, get the screens off the damn concrete floor! That's painful to look at.
The kids could use the machines for interactive class work, making media presentations instead of dioramas, sweatshop coding for larger corportions, etc.
Or, as Query said, donate them to charity. Tis the season.

They can make games in cocoa and awesome slideshows in hyperstudio. That's what me and my friends always did.

@Henry Mumford:
And while they're at it, they can learn to hack into their school's mainframe! That's.. um.. fun.

What did they replace these iMacs with (please don't let it be PCs...)? Knowing what the new machines are could change the way these old machine are repurposed.

I'll take one of those keyboards, preferably in Indigo (to match my old iBook) But mainly because I want an older MacPro style keyboard with black keys, and iMac keyboard would work.

I would love to have some of those iMacs to startup a project I wanted to do here locally. It would allow middle and elementary aged students to create their own movie from scratch. I figure the iMacs that first shipped with iMovie would be good enough for the project. Of course, I would need more than a few good iMacs to sustain the project.
Yeah, just donate them.

There are many kids who have no opportunity to put their hands on a keyboard, much less one connected to a Mac capable of running iLife apps.
Suggest the school visit this Website (founding sponsors include Yahoo!, AOL, and Cisco). At the bottom of this page there are links to organizations accepting non-cash donations.

Change one life, and you change the world!

Do weather modeling, like hurricane prediction models (Can you tell I live on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico?)

Create a stacked art project. Have the screen show some image (possibly of the school sports, students doing things such as reading [could be used as proof they do read], or historical figues for the month's lesson). Or get the nerds together and have some sort of networking system created by them. (An After School Project to show the athletes that the nerds will inherit the earth.)

Why not sell them on ebay and use the proceeds to buy something for the classroom. Not sure what each would bring but I bet that if you set them up as a 10 day multi-auction with a $15-25 minimum you would do pretty well.
50x$20=$1000 and you might get more. Check the average price for each model on ebay to get a sense of what you might get.
You might also just network them to provide your school with extra file storage capacity.
Do get the screens off the floor if they are actually touching it.
Or have a school sale ask for donated used items from the community and use all proceeds for school computer labs.
Good luck.

eBay 'em and buy new iMacs with the money.
50 G3 iMacs = 10 C2D iMacs if they do well on eBay.
