Happy Birthday, iMac

I have one of those on my desk right now. I don't use it though. Its a bondi-blue one too. 4gig hard drive and all.

My first iMac was an iMac G5 Rev. A. Damn, is this high-pitch whine annoying, or what?

But I don't care, I still love this computer and I'm using it right now to type this post.

I recently acquired an iMac G3 Rev. A (Lime Green). It used to be used at my local middle school and I'm going to use it for my old Mac OS 9 applications.

I loved my Rev D iMac that I got in '99....and today, I've returned to the iMac fold by ordering a new iMac!

My roommate still uses my old fan-less 600 Mhz iMac G3 (slot-load) running Tiger with 256 MB RAM, a 20 GB HD, DVD-ROM, and AirPort card :)

I still have my lime green G3 266 mhz iMac. It was the first Apple computer I ever bought. I maxed the memory out to 512mb and have it running Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. It runs it decently too (a little slow at times, but eh, not a big deal). Mine fell prey to the flyback transformer failure.. but I took off the back of it and hooked up a VGA monitor (using a video adaptor) and that solved the problem. I don't use it much anymore. I really only turn it on when I miss OS 9...

I used to think that the multi colored devices where kind of dumb...you know. but now seeing that apple paved the way you can now get a lot more custom looking machines right up front. Look at Dell and their colored laptops, Nintendo and the plethora of DS colors and other colored tech out there...perhaps they really did set that standard first

I can't believe it's only been 10 years since the iMac came out. I was stumbling through college when the first one I ever saw showed up in the newsroom from Apple for us to 'test.'

And I can't determine if I should feel old or NOT old. It makes me feel not old, so I'm going to go with that.

Have you all forgotten your Mac history lessons (or didn't live through those days)? The very first iMac was only available in one colour - Bondi Blue (named after the beach's blue water in Sydney, Australia).
The 5 "fruity" ones came out in January 1999.

"Goose neck?"

I think you mean "Sunflower."
