I have a first gen iMac G3 (the tray loader. older than the on in the video) and it boots OS 9.2 waaaayyy faster than that. It only takes about 2 seconds before I see the happy Mac, and about 20 seconds for the logon screen to appear. And maybe about 3 seconds for it to login.

@OpenEffectStudios h

mm idk maybe the hard drive in mine is slower or less ram idk

well thats not fair seeing how as the prosesers are the same and os 9 takes less to get started. if you compared it with the computers of each time it would be different.

@slipfoot1 well OS X did beat out OS 9 in this case. And yea I know OS 9 was built for PPC and this version runs natively on intel so yea the gap would have been larger but OSX still beat out OS 9 and thats all i was comparing... The OS all others were constants

@slipfoot1 misprint *...and this version of OS X runs natively on intel...

@iCreate14 I'm fairly certain yours has more RAM than mine as mine only has 32mbs lol

It's funny how slow they are and when you think about how far we have come now! With products like the new MacBook Air! :L
