iMac G3 Oct. 1999

- PowerPC 750 @ 333mhz

- 10gb HDD

- 128mb of SDRAM

- Rage 128 Mac versionhttps://www.vogons.org/posting.php?mode=reply&f=25&t=58798#

- OS X 10.1

sitting in a shelf right now with no OS currently on it,

Mac II
8mb of ram
512k nubus vid card (dont know the exact model)
80mb Harddisk
500mb external SCSI Harddisk
MacOS 7.5ish

Still at my parents, will have to dig it out.

G3 iMac running OS X with 256MB memory and its original HDD the size of which escapes me right now. Sadly the RTC battery is dead so I have to keep resetting the date every time I power it up but that's no great hardship.

Only annoyance is using it on-line. Any site that uses HTTPS causes the browser (tried IE/Opera/Safari) to either refuse to connect because it cant authenticate the certificate or just sit there doing nothing until I tell it to stop trying to load the page. Not sure why (maybe someone else can enlighten me) as I'm not really a Mac person.

1994 Macintosh Performa 630CD. Pain in the butt.

My first Mac was an iMac G3. With Mac OS 8.x and 64MiB of RAM, I believe. :)

Several in pieces and one fully functional

Mine has similar specs, but with a 128 GB HDD, 384 MB RAM, dual boot OS 9/OS X 10.3, and 6 MB ATI Rage Pro

Never had it till someone locally was selling one with Diamontron 22" CRT that I wanted. Now I have a Power Macintosh G3 (Macintosh Server G3) for about 4 years but never powered it on 😲 It was supposed to be in a good working condition - might do a test run later this year... 🤣

What's the procedure for imaging mac drives? Is there a mac equivalent of clonezilla?

Are you talking about modern Macs or classic ones for imaging?

Classic. HFS. I'd like to save an image of the HDD in the machine in my previous post, preferably without having to remove the drive from the machine.

My first ever computer was a Mac IIsi with 5mb RAM and 40MB HD. I later added another 40MB external drive, upgraded the internal to 200MB, got a Zip100 drive, upgraded RAM to 17mb. Bunch more since then but I don't really care for modern Macs.

For the classic Mac OS it is called Disk Copy.

I used Macs in the office during the 90's, Quadra 700's then power Mac 7100/66's. Most newspapers used them at that time. We had PowerBooks too, I forget the models now, but they were replaced every 12 months for all the in house reporters.

I never had a Mac, but the elementary school i went to had iMacs loaded with Mac OS X 10.4. I'm not sure if they were iMac G5s or if they were early Intel iMacs though; I don't have many memories of that time. The only thing I remember other than OS version, is that me and some others messed around with Garageband 3.

I had a Bondi Blue g3 that was given back in the late 90s when it was actually relevant and to me it was pretty trash.

Never owned many new Macs, only
1994 - Powerbook 145 or 150
2000 - Powerbook G3 Pismo 500
but didn't keep either for more than 12 months. Used plenty of Macs at high school (Classic, SE/30, LCII & LCIII), a couple at uni and at one of my jobs (an all in one unit, maybe a 5500).

Never had a retro mac, only modern.
Had 2008 Macbook white, then 2010 Macbook Pro 13, now 2017 Macbook Pro 13.
Wanna get Clamshell G3 sometime. Or 12-inch G4 at least.

I grew up in a "game consoles and Macs are useless, PCs are better" household. I bought some garage sale macs when I was younger - Mac LC, Color Classic (...that I later sold for like $60 😠 ), Powerbook 150, etc. But nothing was more than just tinkering around.

When I started working in a computer store, we sold Macs, so I bought an iMac G4 for some crazy discount (~$500 in late 2004). Used it for awhile, then sold it (I remember those clear speakers it came with sounded damn good!)

Then I bought a 12" Powerbook that I absolutely loved and used until the G4 CPU in it was just useless.

Next, I bought a ~2007 era Powerbook from a friend who had just beat the snot out of it. This was in 2010 I think. New HDD, new battery, power supply cord repair, and DVD-ROM bent back into place.

In 2013 I bought my current ~2009 era MacBookPro which is starting to show its age, but I use a laptop so infrequently that it's not worth replacing.

I'm not a fan of the current Apple line-up of products. Around 2012 I was starting to really like their stuff, music in itunes, appletv2 jailbroken with xbmc and airplay, etc. Now it all just seems broken and janky (nothing "just works" anymore).

Still have one of them, and all the games we played as kids.

It's a Mac Plus, with 1MB of ram and a 20 MB SCSI external hard drive. I think the screen may be starting to go, so I use it sparingly. But it works GREAT.

We also had an Apple IIE that my dad upgraded. He was an electrical engineer and never left anything alone. I don't have that anymore, but I have a ton of software and books for it still. I wish I could get my hands on one but my collecting days are on hold for a while.
