G3 Imac? What would YOU do with it?
 

I have a G3 Imac 400mhz with 256MB Ram here,

It just sits on my desk collecting dust, I could put it in the corner to collect dust.

Anyone else have any great ideas that do not involve antifreeze, or breaking it?

I had two. Now each of my older kids has one in his/her bedroom. They're good enough for most homework assignments. No internet connections, though. No way.

You could look for a small, struggling school.

make an aquarium outta that sumbitch

Donating is a good idea.

I gotta tell ya,

I have the imac DV, so that mean it comes with fireware..

Hrmm

I keep mine around for my youngest to play around with.

Any CRT iMac can be a friendly home to fish, but if you have a working iMacDV (or later) that has FireWire, it's not obsolete. It can even run OS X 10.3 at a respectable clip.

from imacquarium.com

I went as far as 10.1. For the kids, I downgraded it to 9.3 though.

its got 10.4.11 on there now.

it works okay.. the latest upgrade took FOREVER to install on it, but it works good now, I need to put a 1gb stick in there, that would really get it kickin

Things are Funny,

I no longer have a imac G3 DV

It has been sold to fellow ChiefsPlanet Member Pikesome,

It was nice Meeting you today, Enjoy Your new imac let me know if you need anything else with it

Thanks

Chris

You got a PM.

And thanks, my 13yo is going to crap himself. He's bought in to the Apple/PC ads big time.

Could run an FTP server from it. Hook up a 500GB External Hard Drive via Firewire.

I hear they make great boat anchors

congrats I was just about to "make an offer he couldn't refuse" :)
