A few months ago I posted a Want Ad on my company's buy/sell/swap bulletin board looking for used Mac's. Macs never were popular where I live, so I didn't really expect to get any replies. But a couple of weeks ago I got an email from a guy who said he had an old Mac in the basement and his wife was bugging him to get rid of it. He was going to put it in a yard sale this spring, but then he saw my want ad. He didn't know much about it, he just used it for games for his kids. So I went to see it and WOW! It's an absolutely pristine iMac G3 "Snow" model at 600Mhz with a 40GB drive and an Apple Pro keyboard and laser mouse! The best part -- he said I could have it for a hundred bucks! My conscience got the better of me and I told him it was worth "a lot" more than $100 but he just wanted it to go to a good home. So now it's mine, I've bumped the RAM to 640MB and installed Panther (up from 9.2.2) and it's working great! Runs just about everything! Still not sure exactly what I'm going to do with it, maybe set it up at my mother's house for when I visit.
I'm not really expecting any replies but I just wanted to brag about my old iMac "deal of the century!"
