When I Grow Up....

I want to be a MacPro.

 

So work had this iMac G4 in a pile of stuff scheduled to be destroyed. No one was sure if it worked or where it had come from. Someone said "A storage closet we think." So I asked if I could have it instead of it being wrecked if it worked.

 

The power plug was there so I fired it up and it had a locked install of 10.4.10 on it. A little terminal work later and I was in. What a find too.

 

800mhz PPC G4

768 MB of DDR

GeForce 4MX 64mb

1440x900 17" Display

SuperDrive (Squee!)

 

Whoever owned this before wasn't playing around when they bought it and totally topped it out. It's a slick little device, I'm getting Leopard 10.5.6 to throw on it now so some more current software will work on it. Can't believe they were going to scrap the little guy.
