(you didn't need to do that keyboard identification thing, you just close it and it works anyway. But I bet you now that already, considering this video is from 2007)
$100 is a lot. I know this video is from 2007 and they are older now, but still. I usually get mine for about $30 at the very most, if not like 15-20 dollars or even for free.
Despite all the others on here elbowing you for getting "ripped", you actually did pretty good. The computer originally sold for well over $1300.00 when it initially came out and that was only like, 6 years ago? It's not "vintage" - Vintage implies that something is AT LEAST 20 years old or older. It's more like "Double-Oughts-Retroish", as you're still running an operating system that hasn't been completely abandoned (like, for instance, DOS, or Windows '98). A hundred bucks is a fair deal.
I got mine for $15 with a keyboard it soo weird cuz the mouse i got was $60 retail and the computer costs $15. Mine came with OS X 10.4.11 and it came with $100dreds of dollars of songs
Are macs mostly for dicking around with? Nice design on the G3. The G5 looks so uninspired and lazy, almost as if the engineers just didn't give a damn anymore, ahahaha. It seems that they need to though, given the fact that apple products are so popular these days, and Steve Jobs is becoming more aggressive in marketing his products.
Also, the reason your imac is loud is because it uses a Quantum Fireball HDD. These are one of the loudest drives you can get. You will get that "Date before 2001" everytime the computer is unplugged.
PS - It cannot have tiger on it. The latest version of OSX it can have is 10.3.9
@AALimited 1. Okay, the no AV thing is wrong. There are viruses. The programmers are too lazy to make macviruses until now though...
2. Hehe, right, definitely right.
3. Right, High performance and an 10h battery (with some tweaks, even the new ones can do it.)
4. The price is still too high... not that the macs aren't worth it, but... you know... Remember Apple's motto? "It does more, it costs less"? THAT's what I want back!
1. PC's have better security without AV programs. Look it up, motherfucker.
2. Windows 7, pre-loaded on any current PC, has more customization options than Scam OS X.
And LOL at number three- "High performance" LOL. Everyone knows that's a lie. a $700 gaming PC has better hardware than the top-of-the-line macs they have. Macs can't game, idiot.
@Crashbndcoot121 1. You are quite wrong with that. A mac w/o AV is not as safe a Windowscomputer WITH AV. That's right.
2. If you just check the Systemconfig, you have many options. Okay, on a mac you might need third party sofware bit a bit of commandlinemagic and you don't even need additional software.
3.The new Macbook Pros own Windows notebooks. With a quite nice performance, they have a fricking large battery.
And Macs cannot game? U MAD? cider, wine, windows, crossover? No games with 'em?
@Bluedino549 Nah, actually it isn't. Look up the Pwn2Own 2011 contest on google, motherfucker. Mac OS X hacked in less than 10 SECONDS. Yea, you need third-party software just to customize your mac, LOL. The new MacBook Pro's have 30% battery consumption, also has no way to disable GPU virtualization, kills the battery life. You bring up "Wine"? That piece of shit emulator that doesn't support most of today's standard games? Have fun playing games on there without sound support.
@Crashbndcoot121 Wine runs crysis quite well... WITHOUT SOUND PROBLEMS! And just because you are too stupid to use a terminal (aka commandline), you need 3rd party software. In addition, you don't need most of the options being available in windows, so Apple hid 'em. A bit stupid, if you ask me, but they are there. And for what do you have a search feature? Mac OS hacked in less than 10 seconds... of course, they did not have an AV... You have to be fricking naive to think your comp. is save!
@Crashbndcoot Also, get an EFI commandline (refit has one) and disable GPU virtualization via the firmware. Is it that hard? You are looking at the surface of OSX but you also have to consider the Unix base, making it a quite MORE flexible OS than Windows. It'S not that macs are perfect, and windows is all band 'n' stuff, but you don't watch both OS' the same way. And I am telling you something. When you are a gamer and buy a mac, smash Windows on it. Whoop disk in, press c while bootin, done!
@Bluedino549 LOL. You fucking dumb prick. Why would you pay 2x the price for a Mac and install Windows on it anyway for gaming? Wouldn't it make a lot more sense for a fucktard as yourself to pay half the price of such a Scam computer on a PC with the same hardware?
In fact, you can buy TWO of such PCs for the price of one fucking Scam.
@Crashbndcoot And using Safari is like using IE: stupid. NEVER use popular or standard browsers. And don't come with "no upgrading" next. Looking at a Mac Pro, you can upgrade it like you want. Thanks to the Hackintoshguys, we have the drivers for moost devices! An imac... You shouldn't upgrade the new ones, the older (G3/G4) were way easier to upgrade. You CAN even change the battery on your own, if you have a second one (I got mine from a brocken MBP from eBay. :D)
@Crashbndcoot121 Coming back to games and 3rd party software: NO, you don't need bootcamp. Nowadays all drivers are out there on the web. Cider runs almost every game (even crysis2) and vis sublegal pages, you can get an empty cider.
The only thing why I regret switching to mac, is the Music Maker, but Apple's Logic pro is waaaay better. But I kinda miss fruity Loops... no it's running on wine flawlessly! I guess we don't need to talk about Valve and steam...
@Bluedino549 Who said anything about bootcamp? And notice how you said "almost". Yea, so Macs still can't play the latest games that require Direct X 11 and a powerful graphics card, which Macs fail to have.
@Crashbndcoot121 The bootcamp thing is just a prevention of the idea that you need it for installing windows on a mac. The iMac, the new MBPs and the Mac Pro have all powerful graphicscards, you know? A: If a hardcoregamer buys a mac, he fails due to stupidity and it is his fault then, in the case he needs maximum details, 66x AA, 44x Anisotropic filtering at 2500x1600. It's exaggerated, but I guess you get the idea.
@Bluedino549 Again...why the fuck would you waste hundreds of dollars if not thousands for a Mac if you'll just install Windows on it to game. You mentioned the Cider emulator, well have a look at this:
bit . ly/hkY8Cw
It is massively slower than running the games natively: anywhere between a 3x to a 5x performance penalty.
@LiEnucksFAILS You links sends me a 404 error. When I the FPS counter of the games, they all show just 3-4 Frames per second less than in Windows. Again, you are switching 3x-5x with 3% to 5%! Plus, love the macbook pro for it's battery, it's performance and it's software. For gamingmatters, I have still my good ol' Alienware PC.
@LiEnucksFAILS See, google the IP and find out, it says I am using Windows 7. In fact, I'm using a mac and it's an onion router, not a proxy, yeah, my mistake! My AW PC has only Windows Vista.
@Bluedino549 LOL. You've been owned. We've already established that Scams aren't meant for gaming, next, is the security issue. Did you know that Windows is more secure than your insecure OS X? ;)
@LiEnucksFAILS I read that some months ago. Again, those übermacfanboys are all fail, as they think they'd be safe. This is only the case because hackers are not interested in macs... until now. Maybe, they'll switch. When the fanboys think they don't need an antivirus, lettem be. They'll see. I always use an AV.
@Bluedino549 Yea, I am a hard core gamer. When I need performance, I boot my custom-build PC with an ATi Radeon HD 4350 card, 4 gigs of RAM, and a powerful Intel Pentium D 2.8 GHz processor. I am not going to boot a 2.2 GHz, 4 gig RAM, Nivida graphics MacBook Pro for gaming. It's just not powerful enough to fit my needs.
@Crashbndcoot121 Intel Pentium D? You kidding me? That thing doesn't even have as much L2 cache as a core2duo! :D But yeah, as a gamer, your hatred against macs is half understandable.
BTW, the new one MBPs have a 2.2GHZ i7 CPU, AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1 GB GDDR5 VRAM (and cost still way too much)! xD
@Bluedino549 Um, look up Pwn2Own contest on wikipedia, OS X sucks security wise...hacked in 5 seconds a couple of weeks ago on a fully patched and protected Mac OS X 10.6.6
Your AV is obsolete. A browser exploit is all you need to hack.
@Bluedino549 Here is the real link, dumbass: bit . ly/gF8Ky4
All fucking fail emulators induce a massive performance penalty in 99% of the cases. Not to mention, only 10% of the games run on them properly, they're nothing but a FAIL bug ridden garbage.
@LiEnucksFAILS I can tell you the weather in Jena: dark, of course, it's night. Some clouds here and it's rather cool out there. Give the IP to a hacker, don't bother!
Listen, s.o.a.b., You don't buy a mac for gaming on the main part. If so, you are a failure. Computers tend to be useful for many things not concerning gaming. Actually, I use a mac, as it is great for composing, and video editing. As I wrote somewhere before, I want the time back, when Apple's motto was "It does more, it costs less". The mac is highprised and I am not a radical Macguy. I am just honest! I have a nice Alienware PC for my games. But it tends to be unportable in vacation.
@Bluedino549 Exactly. You don't fucking buy a Mac for gaming. Gaming = Only Windows. Good thing that you grasped the point.
Also, why are you in denial? You probably still haven't checked this link that highlights the massive performance penalties as a result of using an emulator such as Wine/Cider etc:
bit . ly/hkY8Cw
Macs are too overpriced, and suck at gaming (as we have already established), but also, suck at Flash 10 (YouTube videos for example) and security, etc ;)
@Crashbndcoot121 I called you prick for being an asshole... And a pseudo-1337. See, what you did was not owning, it was bad argumenting including insults. Also, you only searched for reasons to diss macs. Gimme a 700$ Gaming PC beating the Mac Pro (which costs... a bit way too much, I have to admit that.). See, what you are is not cool or pro or 1337 and stuff, it's nothing like being a rude prick, buddy. A rude prick...
@Bluedino549 LOL. I expose the truth about macs, and this loser writes an essay on it's miserable life story. A $700 gaming PC running Windows 7 is the most secure, fastest OS ever. It games, too.
@MrDunkJunk honestly, man....don't waste your time on a G3. It's quite an old computer...this video is almost 4 years old too. I probably would've told you not to waste your time back then, so it's even more true now. I'd stick with your Pentium 4 machine before getting one of these old things. They're cool, but really not useful anymore.
@darkwingppk Oh okay. Thanks for your thoughts. I don't understand why you've got such a lot of hate on this video and why people hate so much on Apple products in general?
I'm an idiot, my English sucks and I never owned anything from Apple in my entire life but let me put it this way, if I could have sex with a computer it would be an Apple!!!
@MrDunkJunk I think haters are just a fact of life on the internet. I just ignore them or laugh at them. Yeah, the Apple computers look nice, but I wish they weren't so expensive and wish they had more practical designs.
The PowerMac G3 would still look really cool today.
It's funny... because back in those days als Microsoft computers were big, boring white and bulky.
Another option is to buy an Apple housing and just clean it up on the inside and try to fit some Intel stuff in there. But that's to difficult for me to try.
@Lamboragon I would agree with you, but unfortunately I don't have the computer anymore because it was too old and slow and I'm typing this on a Dell. Sorry, bud.
@darkwingppk yea i have a compaq presario on windows 7 a unamed pc on xp and an imac g3 and a macintosh lcii and i might be getting an imac 20inch but i would buy a macbook pro or air or an ibook ok nice vid tho i will subscribe ok.
I'm kind of a noob with Macs too, even though I have four of them. I've always disliked them only because of you have to "quit" a program to close it and free up some memory. Is there a way to have it quit when I close the main window of a program? I'm used to less innovative operating systems and would like to keep it that way.
@sonicmonkey123 Not that I know of. You may want to use the keyboard shortcut for quit... Command+Q That's probably what I'd do when I want to close the window and program.
These computers actuallly have a lot of potential... Upgrade the hard drive to 120 GB (Maximum size) and the ram to 1 GB (also maximum) and you'd have an.. Okay computer. You're not gonna hack the pentagon with it but still. Good buy for $100.
The G3 macs are utterly useless. They're too big just to use for typing. G4 iMacs can be found for about $200 today (2 1/2 years after this video) and will load YouTube videos exceptionally and is small enough for typing. I personally hate any machine that doesn't do good for gaming.
@YouHaveMetYourMaker You're right. I still have this computer and every time I turn it on I just can't stand how slow and useless it is compared to my Dell Laptop, so then I put it away and don't use it. However, the screen is really nice for looking at pictures and watching DVDs (so is my laptop, which also has a much higher resolution). I'm thinking of getting rid of my G3 because it just takes up space in my room. I doubt I will get anything for it, but I don't want to just throw it out.
@YouHaveMetYourMaker There's a computer shop down the road that buys old computers I'll probably take it there and see if they'll at least recycle it for me. lol I'm thinking of buying a new laptop. I was considering the 13" MacBook Pro or the Alienware M11x. Not sure if I really need a new computer at all. I just want one because it'd be way cooler than my Dell Inspiron. lol
@darkwingppk I'd take the M11x. That laptop is absolutely amazing for gaming. I don't really think the 13" MacBook Pro is that nice, but anything with a bad graphics card drives me nuts. I'd get 15.4" Macbook Pro and a 24" Cinema Display if money wasn't a factor. But in your case you have two choices: gaming or Mac.
@YouHaveMetYourMaker Yeah, the 15.4 MBP would be pretty sweet, but it's just so damn expensive. I like the idea of not using Windows, and I like the design of the Macs, but when it comes right down how much bang for your buck, you can't justify the higher cost of the Macs.
@YouHaveMetYourMaker I have the 15 inch MacBook Pro (i5). It still has decent specs, but thats not all that matters. Apple's build quality cannot be beat, they have the best costumer service in the industry, and the most stable OS ever. The M11x is still a great system, though. I considered one when I was getting my laptop. It also has the best quality speakers I've ever used, the best display I've ever seen on a laptop, and the aluminum body makes for the most solid feel you could want.
@cromwellsimon I don't play GTA4 and M11x runs Call of Duty just as good as MBP. If you're wondering what I ended up buying, I built a desktop for $550. That's cheaper than the M11x and the Macbook.
Haha I bought one of these in lime for $20 at a rummage sale. Not very familiar with Macs(Im a pc guy). Mac os 8.6 kept freezing so I put os 9 on it. Runs like a champ.
I found one of these in the TRASH!!! The clock thing happened to me too I think it's because some battery needs to be replaced on the logic board. I'm gonna post a vid about it I'm giving to my mom for mother's day
@RuthlessCriminal408 It can run leopard but only the intel macs can run snow leopard. @thedailyshit911 says it has to be the core 2 duo but they made macs with core duo and they now use xeon and i7.
actually i think you overpaid because this video is from 2007 which then it it was worth 75. if you paid 70 a month ago it would have been too much. I have 20 of these (450mhz-600mhz) all working from my old school for free. They even threw in a few working emacs!!
You know what is funny my iPhone has 256mb of ram that just shows everyone how far computers have gone I mean come on it's a phone it's more powerful than that thing
I got 6 of them for free lol. A blueberry slot loading, two granite ones slot loading, and three aqua ones tray loading hehe. No HDs though, but I keep a few lying around anyway.
My teacher is giving me a G3 in "Blue Dalmation" today... I'm a little nervous, because I'm so used to having a really fast computer (our living room has a G5 [i think]) and I'm afraid of becomming impatient :\ I know there's not a TON of RAM, but what's the internet speed like?
(you didn't need to do that keyboard identification thing, you just close it and it works anyway. But I bet you now that already, considering this video is from 2007)

All fucking fail emulators induce a massive performance penalty in 99% of the cases. Not to mention, only 10% of the games run on them properly, they're nothing but a FAIL bug ridden garbage.

@Bluedino549 Cider you say, dumb imbecile? Ever heard of what a performance penalty is, twat?
Look at it yourself:

Cider is anywhere between 3x to 5x slower running games compared to native Windows gaming.
LiEnucksFAILS 9 months ago
@LiE...
Listen, s.o.a.b., You don't buy a mac for gaming on the main part. If so, you are a failure. Computers tend to be useful for many things not concerning gaming. Actually, I use a mac, as it is great for composing, and video editing. As I wrote somewhere before, I want the time back, when Apple's motto was "It does more, it costs less". The mac is highprised and I am not a radical Macguy. I am just honest! I have a nice Alienware PC for my games. But it tends to be unportable in vacation.
Bluedino549 9 months ago
@Bluedino549 Exactly. You don't fucking buy a Mac for gaming. Gaming = Only Windows. Good thing that you grasped the point.
Also, why are you in denial? You probably still haven't checked this link that highlights the massive performance penalties as a result of using an emulator such as Wine/Cider etc:
bit . ly/hkY8Cw
Macs are too overpriced, and suck at gaming (as we have already established), but also, suck at Flash 10 (YouTube videos for example) and security, etc ;)

How is a G3 in comparison with a Intel processor.
Because I have a Pentium 4 (which is pretty old) but it runs pretty fast because my computer is allmost empty.
I only have a few songs, anti-virus and yahoo/IM that's it.
So would it be something I could use everyday or is it a waste of money to buy one now.
The design is totally awesome tho.. I had a small TV once that looked like that!
MrDunkJunk 10 months ago
@MrDunkJunk honestly, man....don't waste your time on a G3. It's quite an old computer...this video is almost 4 years old too. I probably would've told you not to waste your time back then, so it's even more true now. I'd stick with your Pentium 4 machine before getting one of these old things. They're cool, but really not useful anymore.
darkwingppk 10 months ago
@darkwingppk Oh okay. Thanks for your thoughts. I don't understand why you've got such a lot of hate on this video and why people hate so much on Apple products in general?
I'm an idiot, my English sucks and I never owned anything from Apple in my entire life but let me put it this way, if I could have sex with a computer it would be an Apple!!!
MrDunkJunk 10 months ago
@MrDunkJunk I think haters are just a fact of life on the internet. I just ignore them or laugh at them. Yeah, the Apple computers look nice, but I wish they weren't so expensive and wish they had more practical designs.
darkwingppk 10 months ago
@darkwingppk Yeah but lookswise they are amazing.
The PowerMac G3 would still look really cool today.
It's funny... because back in those days als Microsoft computers were big, boring white and bulky.
Another option is to buy an Apple housing and just clean it up on the inside and try to fit some Intel stuff in there. But that's to difficult for me to try.

I'm kind of a noob with Macs too, even though I have four of them. I've always disliked them only because of you have to "quit" a program to close it and free up some memory. Is there a way to have it quit when I close the main window of a program? I'm used to less innovative operating systems and would like to keep it that way.
sonicmonkey123 1 year ago
@sonicmonkey123 Not that I know of. You may want to use the keyboard shortcut for quit... Command+Q That's probably what I'd do when I want to close the window and program.
darkwingppk 1 year ago
@darkwingppk That's what I usually do if I think of it instead of just clicking the close window button. I'll just need some practice. Thanks anyway!

The G3 macs are utterly useless. They're too big just to use for typing. G4 iMacs can be found for about $200 today (2 1/2 years after this video) and will load YouTube videos exceptionally and is small enough for typing. I personally hate any machine that doesn't do good for gaming.
YouHaveMetYourMaker 1 year ago
@YouHaveMetYourMaker You're right. I still have this computer and every time I turn it on I just can't stand how slow and useless it is compared to my Dell Laptop, so then I put it away and don't use it. However, the screen is really nice for looking at pictures and watching DVDs (so is my laptop, which also has a much higher resolution). I'm thinking of getting rid of my G3 because it just takes up space in my room. I doubt I will get anything for it, but I don't want to just throw it out.
darkwingppk 1 year ago
@darkwingppk Throw it out and get a new computer. I'd go for 21.5" iMac if you go new. 17" Intel iMac if you want used.
YouHaveMetYourMaker 1 year ago
@YouHaveMetYourMaker There's a computer shop down the road that buys old computers I'll probably take it there and see if they'll at least recycle it for me. lol I'm thinking of buying a new laptop. I was considering the 13" MacBook Pro or the Alienware M11x. Not sure if I really need a new computer at all. I just want one because it'd be way cooler than my Dell Inspiron. lol
darkwingppk 1 year ago
@darkwingppk I'd take the M11x. That laptop is absolutely amazing for gaming. I don't really think the 13" MacBook Pro is that nice, but anything with a bad graphics card drives me nuts. I'd get 15.4" Macbook Pro and a 24" Cinema Display if money wasn't a factor. But in your case you have two choices: gaming or Mac.
YouHaveMetYourMaker 1 year ago
@YouHaveMetYourMaker Yeah, the 15.4 MBP would be pretty sweet, but it's just so damn expensive. I like the idea of not using Windows, and I like the design of the Macs, but when it comes right down how much bang for your buck, you can't justify the higher cost of the Macs.
darkwingppk 1 year ago
@YouHaveMetYourMaker I have the 15 inch MacBook Pro (i5). It still has decent specs, but thats not all that matters. Apple's build quality cannot be beat, they have the best costumer service in the industry, and the most stable OS ever. The M11x is still a great system, though. I considered one when I was getting my laptop. It also has the best quality speakers I've ever used, the best display I've ever seen on a laptop, and the aluminum body makes for the most solid feel you could want.
