What color is/was your iMac G3?

Indigo ... September 2000. The added 256 MB of RAM went bad and for the last 2 years have been getting by with the original 64 MB.

Mine was indigo, 600mhz I believe...I put some extra RAM in it and it ran Jaguar just fine. I sold it so I could get my iBook...I got $600 out of it, so I was pretty impressed by that!

Currently I have a graphite iMac G3 in my office...it was a hand me down from the computer lab and it still works great, runs Tiger and everything. The broken Dell it replaced was much younger. 😛

My girlfriend had a Kermit. A Sage coloured iMac G3, that is. Now that was a colour I'd like to see return. It was drop dead gorgeous. Really. Fully transparant, the green top. Looked stunning. Best colour the iMac G3 ever came in, in my opinion. Way better looking than my humble Bondi Blue Baby. But still, I had (have) the original iMac (it's even a 'revision A' model, not the same looking, same coloured 'revision B' model, mind you). So that'd count for something, now wouldn't it?

Mine was one of the last revision before they went to the G4s – a 500Mhz Indigo. It was a great little machine, which I will admit to missing a bit – when I got my G5 the old iMac got passed onto a friend and I'm pleased to say it's still going strong.

From a PC world standpoint, it is crazy how long these machines last! up to 9 years??!!! It is very shocking! I remember looking enviously at the iMac G3s back then *reminisces* They fascinated me. That reminds me, you guys remember that old iBook g3 commercial with Milo Ventimiglia getting on the plane?? I loved that commercial, even though I was like 9 at the time. When I saw it on youtube I had vaguely remembered seeing it. Although it does portray mac users as being...well, obnoxious 😛

It is, indeed. And not just fram a PC world standpoint. From any standpoint, it's shocking. But still, also very cool. In today's age with gadgets like mobile phones lasting six months on average, desktop computers lasting three years and laptops even shorter, nine years is nothing short of amazing.

I have a Bondi Blue iMac somewhere, gathering dust. It did have 384MB RAM and still has a Voodoo2 graphics card, which made it quite a good machine for playing Unreal back in 1998 or 1999, whichever year it was.

Same here! I installed the Voodoo2 card and had a blast with Unreal. Unfortunatly I never found a driver for the Voodoo graphics cards in OSX so it didn't work after the OS upgrade and I gave my Bondi G3 away.

I had a tangerine for two days when the DVs first came out in 1999, but the screen went funny on it so I sent it back. I wanted another one of the same colour, but when they told me it would be a three week wait I went for lime, which was my second choice.

I sold it in late 2005 and it was still going strong, so lime was definitely the right decision.

I had a Bondi Blue for a while, and then a Graphite SE DV.
