[bartsimpson67543]

[K2ACP]

I have an IMac G3 blueberry slot loading, how can I dual boot OS 9 and OS X?

[PartyWithMario]

do you know where i can get a imac indigo slot loading?

[ABigMuffin]

my 3rd cousin has this and it still works!!!! lol no internet but has a lot of good games in there like doom and something else but bring memories :)

[v8nman]

The only thing that sucks about the tray G3's is they cannot boot to USB. The Slot loaders could.

[samuxxn]

how well runs this imacg3 yotube?

[rkmugen]

@samuxxn anything less than a G4 eMac........ yes... i did say G4 eMac.... will not be fast enough render YouTube videos smoothly. I should know. I tried it on a Rev. D iMac G3/333mhz and on my iMac G3/600 Snow (white model). As for the 600mhz iMac, the video was choppy and the audio was so out of sync, that the video finished playing before the audio track finished!

[vantageIIx]

@samuxxn not very well at all, but if you do want to try, download the camino browser. if that doesn't work out well for you, download a program called mactubes, which will let you search and download youtube videos without opening your browser. :)

[TheMagicMacStop]

@samuxxn not very good and you can't get flash player 10 you need 9 because flah player 10 is for intel

[kiwi20069]

just shows us u can afford macs:)

[TheMagicMacStop]

@kiwi20069 two thousand dollars oh well the prices dropped and i love the machine

[Bakerskatepunk08]

[TheMagicMacStop]

@Bakerskatepunk08 the bondi blue tray loading came with os 8 the slot loading had os 9

[Rusciano13]

My big sister had this, nd i wuz so jealous, until i got me eMac, now i got a 27'' iMac tha 2.8Ghz Intel i7 8GB RAM it flies. nd im getting the best iMac G3 around

[chavitavb]

I have a powermac g4 that lasted only 9 years the it started acting weird and slow and died :(. I have the keyboard, the pro mouse, and the screen but all dusty.

[donnavega1986]

i have the same imac i need help upgrading it but i dont have the cd do i need it?

[the7awakening]

@donnavega1986 I can help you upgrade it. I upgrade old macs as a hobby. Send me a message. If you need it, chances are I have it as far as OS discs go.

[claycas92]

5 minutes to boot up WOW

[tyriflanigan]

how to install os 10 without a dvd drive

[starkist1480]

@tyriflanigan You can install OSX from 10.0 to 10.3 without a DVD drive, since it came with CD not DVD. Tiger came with CD or DVD, but I heard the CD version is rare or something like that.

[WebVMan]

I wish I could get Free PCs. I want a Commodore 64 and any Mac since G3. And possibly an old Atari PC.

[88Lbody]

You can keep an eye on freecycle in your area, and put ads on craigslist.

[laptoplover2]

Where'd you get it for 15 bucks?

[kisapedra]

true we have loads they gac=ve me one but its kinda slow :)P i use pcs tho

[skoolpie123]

[reidras]

[dotkoi]

iMac以前に手振れを何とかして欲しいよ！

[gab1971]

that is an imac

[MavmanFilms]

I had two tray-loading iMac's before. My first one was 9 years ago and I had the Raspberry and then 2 years later I got a Tangerine iMac which my uncle gave to my cousin and sent it overseas and now it's broken, but the Raspberry that's with my baby cousin is still running perfectly and it's using the Mac OS X 10.1 (Puma). Gotta love these classic innovative Mac's.

[The1every1thing1Show]

hay give me a idea of getting alot of views on a video

[kasm279]

i have one of these in the REV.D Blueberry variety. the A and B versions (Bondi Blue) were the only ones with an IrDA transceiver on them, unfortunately. Mine runs Jaguar (10.2) OH, 9.0.4 can be updated to 9.2.2. Mine has that issue with the power button. Also, mine was $35 with keyboard and mouse. WOW, 100MHz maked a difference. Mine is much faster :P (it also has 192MB of ram, its only supposed to have 132. Also, iMovie became part of iLife in 10.4 (wow, long comment!)

[CH12ON1C]

I have a revision D grape with the same amount of ram, i also paid $35, it also came with the keyboard and mouse too

[Gmancrap]

Schools are trowing them out so you can get them for free now and towers to.

[TheMARZROVER]

where might i find the places that schools throw them out?

[Gmancrap]

Well I got mine from the school they where trowing a G3's away and me and some other people asked and got some. but this was last year or so and during the summer so the schools may be fresh out =P idk man if your in high school go to your tec lab or grafic design class and ask if they are trowing any old equipment away.

[CH12ON1C]

i got the exact same deal lol, but mine is a grape version, it came with keyboard and mouse 192mb of ram all for 35$

[kasm279]

lol, does it recognize the full 192? Mine used to, but now its only 160MB, also, i dont know if it has just 192, i think it has more...

[CH12ON1C]

yeah mine recognizes it all

[kasm279]

makes*

[jpeak2123]

Do you know how to update the firmware on these. I have one that has OS 9.1.0 and I'd like to install Mac OS X but have been unsuccessful in my attempts to install the firmware updates.

[kasm279]

dont worry about the firmware on this iMac, mine wouldnt update. i talked to a friend who is an Apple tech and he said dont worry about it.

[jpeak2123]

Thanks. :-)

[travislonghorn]

i have one of dem

[stevek1993]

telly ?

[damiannerd]

i wish apples future imac g6 looks identical to a g3!

[chngngsldr54]

LOL

u said g6 - hehehehehhhh..........

It's called intel!

[loneknight97]

LOL LOL LOL LOL....ur so funny....-_- (sigh)

[Rio356]

mine is better tho XP its faster than a macbook :)

[apple5macintosh]

what is the picture in the corner of the screen when you boot Mac OS X??

[jasonisroxursox]

it is the waiting sign, kind of like the watch

[cliper53]

i like the mouse

[iyakayode78]

well, it looks cute but believe me you'll hate it sooner or later if u have to work with it. The shape is annoying - I had a grape imac with that mouse, that's why...

[clarke1ismad]

this was a bit of a waste of time but good anyhow

[simdude2u]

What do you use with the IR sensor?

[PowerPCUser]

It was put on there for beaming files from devices such as mobile phones. Apparently you could also beam files from other IR-compatible Macs.

[macintoshcrazy101]

What's great about this model iMac is that you can boot it up from both the power button on the computer or on the keyboard. There is a power button on the keyboard that you can use to power on the computer. :)

[PowerPCUser]

Yeah, I tried the keyboard with the power button on later Mac models and it no longer powers on the computer.

[Jimbobmcsquarepants]

They removed the wiring that allowed you to boot from keyboard in the slot loading model i think

[BronzenRevolver]

Thats not the only great thing!

It looks nice and sleek and its pretty quick

[DawVideos]

I got a 333mhz one for $40 with os 9 on it. Had 96mb ram, 6gb hdd so I upgraded to 198mb and an 80gb hdd for itunes. Awesome deal you got.

[NorCalExplorer]

Our apartment has one of those in the community room. It runs 10.3.9 on it with 288 of ram, and a 20 gig hd. The machine looks clean for how old it is.

[boyfigureskater1996]

Cool, thanks.

[hord]

wow $15 very nice, i got one but it doesnt seem to want to power on :(

[Eido486]

It's rather funny how they removed the IR sensor because Front Row requires one and my Mac does not have one :)

[jumpmansbro]

i plan on purchasing my first Mac, and i'm looking for some advice. should i save up like $1,000 and get the best Mac Mini possible brand new, or should i buy a cheaper, used Mac off of eBay (and if so, what kind)? i'd check the classifieds in my local newspaper but i live in the middle of nowhere and nobody even has a Mac.

[macnerd93]

i'd recommend getting the mac mini, if you get an older non intel mac off ebay which used PowerPC cpus, certain applications may not run as only can use an intel processor. most are universal meaning that they will run on both the PowerPC RISC & Intel X86 architecture

[jumpmansbro]

i might get the mac mini, so i can install windows XP and not have to buy mac versions of games. i'd also like a mac pro, but they're expensive as hell.

[macnerd93]

i got 5 macs myself, a Macbook, 3 mac minis and a PowerMac g4, the mac mini rules i use one as a media center from my tv, another for general work and the other mini for backups

[thechoice33]

thats a lot of minis, lol.

[macintoshcrazy101]

I also have an original Bondi Blue iMac. But mine runs OS X 10.2.8, not OS 9.

By the way, congrats on the subscriptions, man. :)

[Btroisi13]

6TH lol jk. I love your videos! Keep up the good work! Great deal you got!

[Peterson8765]

Great video, dude! I really enjoy your videos and am a loyal subscriber! What a deal you got there!

[themaritimeman]

Congrats on the subscribers!

Thats awesome for $15! So this thing has both Mac OS 9 and 10 on it, or did you wipe 9 and install 10 between scene changes?

Also, which came first - the tray-loading iMac or the slot-loading one?

Another awesome video, keep it up!

[Btroisi13]

Tray load, then slot load.

[themaritimeman]

OK, thanks.

[PowerPCUser]

No, it has both OS 9 and OS X on it. The scene change was because my camera has a limit of 3 minutes and I didn't want it to suddenly stop recording in the middle of something, so I played it safe and stopped recording before the 3 minute mark.
