iMac G4
by DJGM » Mon 24 Jun, 2002 9:30 am
Ah, have you bought a new iMac? What do you think
off the new flat panel display and white dome base?
Also, how does Mac OS X compare with Mac OS 9.2.
In your opinion, and out of your experience so far,
which do you think is the better version of Mac OS?

The new flat panel display is better than the old Imac i have allway's us.
MacOs X is a nice program, the same as Windows in some things. The best one this moment from Apple, but have you see the new program from apple wich is coming soon out.
I like MacOs 9.2 more and us this as my favorit program.
The high speed is very good from the Imac G4, i have a cable modem from internet and it load very very quick

It's iMac not Imac!
by Robert Johnathan Hordsley » Mon 24 Jun, 2002 3:28 pm
No, they're not.
Add an extra "m" to Imac and you've got the name
of a popular female depilatory hair removal cream!
As far as I'm concerned, as far as Apple is concerned and as
far as most Macintosh users are concerned, it's spelt iMac
Same goes for Apple's newest computer, that spelt eMac.
Check on Apple's website if you don't believe me: http://www.apple.com/

That last "Guest" post made me think that Apple's
new eMac computer, does look like a hybrid of the
original style iMac blended with the fresh whiteness
of the newer flat panel iMac. I can just imagine the
new iMac and/or eMac placed in households with
small kids would very quickly have sticky, dirty
fingerprints all over that pristine whiteness!

I know about eMac now being available for the general public.
I'm on the MacUser (UK) email list, and according to the info
that I received from that, apparently Apple were deluged
with enquiries and requests on whether the eMac would
ever be available for all to buy, not just for education.

I got interested in Macintosh early last year when I found out about a
freeware program called BasiliskII, that emulates an old 68k Macintosh
on any machine running WindowsNT/2000. This emulator will run older
versions of the Macintosh System Software upto Mac OS 8.1. I started
with System 7.5.3 in BasiliskII, and gradually upgraded to Mac OS 8.1.
The more I used this Macintosh emulator, the more I wanted to get
myself a real Macintosh computer, so I started to trawl the classified
ads to find a second hand one. (Couldn't afford a brand new one then,
and I still can't afford a brand new one now!) The cheapest ones that I
could find were the older, 1st generation, Rev A 233-266Mhz, iMacs. (It
was an iMac that I wanted in particular, so that I'd have a computer, that
goes with the color of the decor in the living room of my house!) Almost
all of these machines averages at around UK£300 (roughly €500 I think).
That was until I saw advertised, a 2nd user, 233Mhz Blueberry iMac up
for grabs at the insanely low price of just UK£150 (roughly €250 I think).
It came complete with all the original documentation, the iMac keyboard
and mouse, a bunch of extra software, plus Mac OS 8.5 pre-installed.
The keyboard has since stopped working on it, so I spent about 3 months
trying to find a low cost replacement. There's no way I was prepared to
spend UK£50 (roughly €80) for the Apple Pro Keyboard. I eventually
found a generic Gateway branded USB keyboard, complete with 2
built in USB ports, just like the now deceased iMac keyboard.
This new keyboard was designed for PC's running Windows, as it has
the Windows logo key. I got this keyboard in November of last year,
and I soon found that the Windows logo key that normally makes
the Start menu popup in Windows, also performs the function
of the Apple/Command Key when it is used in Mac OS.
The Windows logo key itself can actually perform the function it was
primarily designed for, as I also have Windows NT4.0 Workstation
installed on my iMac also. Using Connectix Virtual PC, of course!

Thanks for your answere.
i like iMac for the first time i see it...i us the first ppc, 233 mhz with MacOs 7.5 or 7.6, after that i did evertime a upgrade when there is coming a new out from MacOs.
Now with the new iMac G4 i us is more better, but i like MacOS 9 more than X, well it is better than MacOs 9 in some things....but it is my opinion.
For my work i us also a iMac.
take care hansh
