Power Mac G3 Introduction

[tigresslover]

These were terrible. We had two in my class back in elementary. Stuff ran so very slow. We then got a bunch of iMac G3s and they blew the Power Macs out of the water in performance.

[PinkTheFloydable]

@tigresslover What are you talking about? These things were way faster than iMacs, you must have been running a different OS or something

[tigresslover]

@PinkTheFloydable It was all in Fall '99 and they were brand new.

[videopigable]

Holy shit did he say 1 GIGABYTE??!! Shit! I've only got a measly, oh wait, 16.

[JFarmer2011]

1GB, wow my netbook is bad.

[johanzenandersen]

Jhonny Ive?? I totally died:

Fat, hair, suit. God.

[iPhoneTipster]

Hair version of jhonny ive

[leehong8882221]

1gb ram wow

[BowProStudios]

apples stuff from the late 90s was still awesome, but the style of them hasn't aged very well lol. Their current stuff is way sexier

[jebug29]

1GB? IT MUST BE THE FASTEST IN THE WORLD!

Not by today's standards. XD

[WuTeeVee]

Ives had hair!?

[JackFSinging]

Fucking hell I thought Johnny Ive was Johnny Vegas for a second then :o

[TheMunch97]

Man i had one of these at school when i was 3. i need to buy one there imposible to find

[justanasshole71]

@javier29m90 you and your mother should know you fucking homo! You're a power bottom like your father. Now go fuck yourself with your flaming homosexual name, PENDEJO!!

[techyknowsbest]

phil schiller always starts with "we set out to"

[campbellharley]

Jonathan Ive looks stoned

[davvvideos]

At 3.08 phil whipped out that giant camera from nowhere.he must have superpowers..

[gagatai]

Who is that black hair dude.... oh WAIT! IT"S JONY IVES!!! OMG!

[gerutgerut]

G3 broke the law of physics. Wow

[techyknowsbest]

"this is soooooo fast" he said whilst typing on his 1.3GHz Windows 7 netbook

[techyknowsbest]

jony ives with hair!! lots of it too

[MrVinney96]

Jonny with hair. OMG WTF!!

[lqmajor]

[kahuna3901]

[Legofan78]

OMG!! Jonathan Ive with long hair!! 

[dwdwsk8123]

mac is a fuck

[Deokishisu]

That 21 inch monitor was and still is "the shit".

[Chris242tt]

im going to jerk off to this mac!!!!

[fred9099]

It's funny that if you update the hardware and music, the rest of this commercial is still relevant... at least in Apple's own view of the world.

The best... the fastest... I want it.... blah blah blah :D

[commodore256]

lol

[tipoomaster]

*Sheds tear*

The last time a professional series mac came with a top of the line graphics card stock.

[richardmaudsley77]

@tipoomaster yeah, and they only made it for a few months, too.

[pioneerz450]

whatched on iMac G4

[tallyhoman911]

@pioneerz450 same here! :D

[MrCameronWoodyard]

That monitor looks pimping. 

[julianbell90]

back then apple products had personality, and spirit. But now they're silver boxes that do the samethings only better. But I guess it's still better than when pc's were stuck in the beige era

[remurdereht]

people were so open about their feelings towards their products in the 90's... "this computer kicks ass!" "sex is power!"

[MKuhlberg]

:D ive had hair! and wasnt wearing "the shirt" lol

[TrowbridgeHardcore]

jesus john acctully had hair

[insaneiaq]

Holy crap, Johnny Ive was fat and had hair?! Videos of him just 1 year later and he looks totally different.

[wojciech94]

John Carmack - ahahah what a nerd ! xD

[Michaelp2011]

omg Johnny is so ugly in this video ugh.. he looks so much better now.

[mattnanokid]

What was the original price of these machines? Just bought one for 10 bucks on ebay.

[richardmaudsley77]

G3 era apple = hot shit. Intel apple = boring grey shit.

[computec1993]

omg! Jony Ive with hair!

[Rarrin9378]

Should i buy one of these?

[MetallicBill]

@Rarrin9378 cheaper then the higher models, they want $400 for a G4 at our local pawnshop. I decided to sell mine because I really like Windows to tell ya the truth

[Rarrin9378]

@MetallicBill That is really quite expensive for a 456 mhz G4 to try to keep up in today's computer world. I have been on pc's ever since i was 5 sitting there figuring everything out about them and to tell you the truth i am getting bored with pc's.

[TJC450]

Jonathan Ives went bald in like 4 years haha

[up0]

like the hairy Jonathan Ives.Anyway, just bought a G3 for $10. Will try to make it into a NAS file server.

[Maartenkorsch1]

im using it since yesterday! Best computer ever!

[otheriBenjii]

I only kept my PowerMac G3 for the simple reason of that it plays Bugdom:)

[adryanv]

Haha wow, Johnny has hair on this one. :)

[MetallicBill]

Found one thrown away, G3 B n W model, loaded with SCSI and software and I can't do two things someone might be able figure out WMP 7 for Mac won't install when asked to reboot, it freezes terminally, A' la Windows, me thinks, What is up with that?!?!? (same for Dazzle DPM)

[brianpomona18]

@MetallicBill Got my B&W G3 out of a dumpster like 5 years ago. It still works fine to this day.

[MetallicBill]

@brianpomona18 Someone threw the one I got away, and like the A25 Toshiba laptop I found earlier, it WAS working, but the Toshy needed some repair, the Mac didn't

[comneard2]

Wow only 400mhz shit my iPhones got like 20mhz more

[arnolddisco]

Nice VX1000 Phil

[perple2701]

My most favoritest computer ever!!!!

[Alantgv]

what is the song at the start and end?

[mewrox99]

In 1999, PC133 was considered insanely fast

[HorusVrae]

just found it funny that they are calling 133 ram high performance.. hehe i love these old adds makes me think "pfft, noob"

[PianoScience]

This was when Jonathan Ive had hair.

[ddtdanilo]

hahahaha it's true! xD

[iCamiloTV]

They completely stopped in 1999, the iBook G3 was the first laptop without a floppy disk. they started to get away from the floppy drive as early as 1997...

[hygog]

WOW! the "thin" version of philp schiller!!!

[GavinRoskamp]

And the fat version of Johnny Ive :D

[jsk14jeca]

LMAO !

[sangminlee48]

@GavinRoskamp and with hair...

[darkmark232]

i loved when he said 17 in. is the best in the business. anyone else ever thought it would be hilarious to go back in time and take the itouch, iphone, macbook air, ps3, 360, wii, or some other amazing thing we have now and just see what people back then would have thought

[Andydrumer12]

ive always wondered about that my self haha ;)

[phoebus1966]

Henri Kissinger .... did anybody see it? .... I don't think so.

[aeg12p]

i owned a Power mac G4 but the psu was dead so i trowed it away

[HdieXlawnC]

Someone in my town gutted a G3 and put in a Intel C2D with 2 GB RAM and 200GB Hd and sold it for like 300 bucks. I wanted it soo bad

[iCamiloTV]

They perhaps just took out the whole guts of the G3 and fitted a PC mother board and etc.... I am not really sure you could actually upgrade a G3 to an Intel CPU.

[HdieXlawnC]

That's exactly what they did. And I wanted it

[HdieXlawnC]

JONY IVE NOOOO! He aged like fine wine...lol

[WorldWideRomance]

wow! JOHNNY HAS HAIR LOL!

[irulethe70s]

but hes bald now

[cycler2991]

Does anyone know the name of the song that was used as the background music?

[morganny]

what IS jonathon ive?

i am disappointed in you

[ReubenHorsley]

Haha, oh wow. I have two of these as my foot rests! Using them as file servers, you have to partition the HD's into 128GB slices, cause they can't comprehend anything larger :D

And Jonathan Ive has lost allot of weight since then!

[Chipudnik]

still my favorite mac... i wish i had one

[eletronicguru]

Dude..

I still have one in my closet xD

[twgoldwood]

in the imac g3 video jonathan ive looks creepy with hair but in this he looks ok

[stupidfool91]

Lol i have to admit when he said i'll just take this camera, and he revealed what looked to be a small car engine on his hand i just laughed. i mean back then i remember my dad bringing him a giant camera and going " Hey son look its a CAMERA" good ol days huh. =)

[stupidfool91]

Home*

[arnolddisco]

Most Pro cameras these days are that big, and this was a pro computer. That cameras a VX1000. Search it on Youtube. Its still very popular today among skateboarders.

[avto91]

i think that powerbook g3 is the most beautyfull notebook evere made

[EuroCarfan00]

Same here!

[EuroCarfan00]

what happened to apple, the beautiful Plastics and colors... now all they think about is iPod and iPod and more iPods...

[ansirone]

ya i totally understand that. i usted to have the g3 as well. then the g4 and now got the mac pro. through out the years i still im still with the translucent design. i know apple is on environmental tip now so maybe thats why they havent been using much plastics besides teh mac book

[ansirone]

man i think the g3's were still the best looking machines to date! love the color and design. wish you could slap one of the newer processors on there

[drivojulianrobotnik]

You could put a g4 logicboard inside the g3 case, but you would need a g4 PSU ansirone.

I would keep it original.

[tgpooch]

Ha ha, that Kevin Hekman guy is funny... :P

[kevinhekman]

funny how, like a clown?

When I tested that machine, all I had was a sheetmetal box - no skins.

let's not forget it was the last machine with a legacy ADB port too I believe..

[metasuperhyper]

and the floppy port

[DarthSkywalker354]

If power is sex like the guy said, I would pass this thing up for a mac pro any day

[BrianDeuelDotCom]

Well, you can get one of these now for about 1000th of the price of a Mac Pro :) I see them everyday for $25-$50.

[xDoommaster1994]

I bought one for $30. It has a DVD drive in it.

[danieleriskay]

Johnny Ive looks much better with a shaved head. Funny how such a savvy design guy could have had a haircut like that.

[xDoommaster1994]

I have one of these. We used to use these in my elementary school in Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade. Then I bought one for $30.

[boyfigureskater1996]

i think this was the last Mac that had a floppy drive!

[xDoommaster1994]

No. I have a G3. It has a Zip drive. That's why if I don't end up getting one of my FD games on there, I'm giving it away to a friend. I also have a Performa 6218 CD and it has a floppy drive but no burner.

[macintoshcrazy101]

Actually, not to be mean and all, the Beige G3 was the last Macintosh to use a floppy disk drive.

[EuroCarfan00]

Apple was beautiful back then.

[magikoopa881]

my old teacher had that computer

[JSR2127]

This computer was awesome!!!!
