iMac G3 Starting up

[TTAPTV]

Ohhh my first Mac, jejeje

[greenbreakdancehippo]

These were the computers at my elementary school

[mackid2011]

Does anyone use this computer as an everyday computer?

[Gold171]

@mackid2011 I use it quite often to record audio from different sources.

[gamesterNo0bo1]

That was my first computer :) But mine was blue

[robbo4life]

i remember these in primary school. Ahhh... Nostalgia. i hate my win7 laptop now!

[Dracogame]

My first computer ever. I love it

[MatthewSweetz]

Like a TV.

[Droideka133]

Microsoft Mouse XD

[ThePhoneUpdate]

I have one of the slot loading iMac G3's sitting right here on my desk, with a rather nice Fireworks screensaver :)

[zapper067]

this will be more expensive than windows 7

[andyyube]

@zapper067 I have an Intel 386, the 33 Mhz version. Think of how old that is :)

[86123maxxi]

@GayAsianLover Shouldn't you be in Chatoulette or 4Chan or craigslist men looking for women section? Nevermind, but the iMac G3 (Rev A) can be upgraded to OS X 10.3 Panther with a splattering of 128MB RAMZ (I do believe the Rev A can go up to 192 MB RAM but I am not sure)

[PurpleFurryFox77]

@86123maxxi Acutually they can support up to 10.4.11 tiger. I have a G3 graphite DV edition computer with tiger on it.

[jenison99]

the startup sound scared me lol

[casted02]

Three questions:

1. What was Apple's first computer?

2. Could you install Mac OS X Lion on any of them? (Or the MacApp Store?)

3. You are NOT switching to Windows, right?

[GayAsianLover]

@casted02 I don't believe these will take anything above OS 9. Not Apple's first, but probably their first mass market edition. I have the iBook G3 Clamshell from 1999, I love it. Slow, of course, but still works fairly well.

[MattExzy]

@GayAsianLover They'd run Mac OS X Jaguar I believe.

[FOXDIEPATRIOT]

And still Faster than Windows... :D

[gocountry1391]

what up with the lines?? 0:34

[PiexlHD]

@gocountry1391 happens when you record old screens

[jebug29]

@gocountry1391 When you record CRT Monitors, there are lines.

[kostasth97]

you must use windows imediately my frind

[frankwolffnl]

I got exactly the same color. :P

[fred471]

APPLE CHIME <3

[isildur4ofdeath]

holy shit update to at least tiger

[frog7227]

@isildur4ofdeath if it can....

[isildur4ofdeath]

@frog7227 tiger supports ppc

[frog7227]

@isildur4ofdeath i know imen the models where (of this generation) 233,266,333MHZ so it might not support tiger! ask him!

[artifactingreality]

i used to use a mac, then the doctor gave me some pills and im all better now.

[moviesunrated]

@artifactingreality That makes no sense.

[Scorp969]

@artifactingreality lol. 

[gtr500able]

@artifactingreality ye u started to use windows right ;)?

[jonvincent12]

@artifactingreality Congratulations. Your tale of how you overcame your Mac addiction has inspired us all to use PCs.

[Axschel]

i have osx 10.4.11 on my old imac g3

[MichaelFdeGodoy]

Is that a Microsoft mouse I see next to the iMac? o.o

[whoohoo576]

really beautiful macs. I want one as a collectible.

[iTechBuddy]

I love G3 and G4

[iTechBuddy]

@wolf2hawk At leats Macs are shit, not something worst than PCs

[bumblebeedancer]

your computer's doin a dance there lol

[BattlescapeFreak]

I also got this also ,

I never upgraded it cause i wanted to keep it classic.

It runs on Mac OS 8.6

[tsarvadim]

what a piece of shit

[jacoblivesay]

os 9.2 old but man i remember it being gold

[pencilman222000]

i just got my slot loading one off cragislist for 15 bucks, i love it but finding software for os 9 is hard, except games, abandonware sites have a ton of them

[NamelessNLS]

Microsoft mouse rulz xd

[MystiqueCRO]

I have the tray loading 233MHz bondi blue iMac, and sometimes instead of normal chime sound i get all distorted sound at startup....usually occurs after it was turned off for som time....about half an hour...when i turn it off and back on after that..everything is ok....it's not a biggie....but it's annoying... :-)

[Inquisition9]

My 2009 Macbook Pro did that to me last week. First (and so far only) time it's done it, but it freaked me out when it did.

[DeathsProphet1]

I have a 333Mhz 369 MB Ram iMac PPC G3 Running OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS 10.3.9 :) I have a Starwberry one just like yours and Slot Loading :)

[markjordan501st]

up date to panther qicer boot

[themaritimeman]

Cool! I like the first-generation iMacs. OS 9.2 - also cool, the last version of the "classic" Mac OS. (Unless you count 9.2.1 or 9.2.2, which were pretty much bug fixes.)

[smiljanicn]

do you have very noisy fan like me?

[VaderNES]

I found one of these earlier today on the curb (trash). The hard drive is dead, so I am going to find a new one (a new hard drive, not a new computer). I will then give it to my iBrother.

[damiannerd]

where can I get an imac g3 for about £60?

[ToAsTmAn119911]

craigslist

[themaritimeman]

or eBay.

[MarantzSt153]

60? whahahah You oly needed to pay 20 or some XD

[Dozydaizy]

shud i buy one?

[ioncomputershow]

lol OS 9.2. that os is so useless now -_-

[BRCincy2]

Not so. Many people still use OS 9... Though the number is getting smaller.

[b4nhbao]

[ItachiUchihara]

[cjdanilecki]

[F4ToContinue]

@H3rBz92 NOKIA FUCK YUS, FINLAAAAND

[soopertrooper001]

my ipod is faster than this shit man

[sexualchoc69er]

so is mine

[HypergateTV]

Your Ipod hasn´t got a 300 MhZ PowerPC processor, and it does only load a small OS. I bet this Mac is much faster than an Ipod.
