OMG, I have a mac. I just bought a imac g3 from ebay, 512 mb, dvd/cd, 40gb. YAY!!! I'll have to wait till it gets here, but I'm so excited! I lucked out, got a pretty good deal, only $280 w/ shipping. I can't wait to mess around w/ Tiger!

It came to just shy of £3,300, not including the extra 2GiB of RAM.

I wish I had that much cash to burn

I bought the iPod Shuffle 1 GB Sunday. I think its a great upgrade from the old JaMP3 16 MB one I had. Now its actually worth putting songs on. I think now I'll save for a mini, and use them together.

You mean a Mac mini for Unbe?

#297142

kind of on topic: i just got the jbl creature II speakers for my home pc. i posted here cuz i think you'd normally see these beauties on a mac. they look and sound great. the bass does get a bit 'wubbly' if you really crank it, but otherwise, i recommend these.

how much did i pay? $13 american for shipping and handling and 1200 camel cash c-notes. see? smoking IS good for you!

I just did 2 things I could never do with my windows computer.

1.) Keep it on for more than 4 days.

2.) Look in a help file and find the answer to a problem.

Long live Apple!

It's coming! After years of waiting, my PowerBook is on the way!

*15" 1.67 GHz SuperDrive

*2 GB RAM

*128 MB VRAM

*80 GB Hard Drive

My first computer was a Mac, but then I (sadly) was forced to move to PC, so I've been out of the Apple loop for quite a while. Any certain thing(s) that is a must be done a new Mac?

I got an iMac G3... Blue, green or Bondi... I can't really tell the difference... runs Mac OS 9... crashed 3 times in the first week. But I love it.

Plus I bought an iPod G4 last August... about time for a new battery

I'm also planning on buying an iBook in the near future... but I just realized that I have to pay 8% sales tax... looks like I have some more saving to do.
