I'm posting this on a nearly 10-year-old iMac

[Elwood P Dowd]

running Tiger 10.4.11. How many of you fire up your old Macs from time to time just to see how they work on the internet? With the exception of some Flash crap from time to time, this one still works great.

1. I retired my 12-year-old beige G3 "Mac-esnstein" at the beginning of the month

which I'd upgraded with a G4 processor card to run Panther, Jaguar, Tiger, and Mac Classic. Sometimes I'd check out IE for Mac on OS9--it didn't have a clue about php files.

2. You guys with your new computers!

I still have a 9600! I haven't started it up in a while but I still have that and a B&W G3. I'd get rid of them if I knew how.

3. I just recycled our basement Mac graveyard.

Multiple desktop models from the mid-nineties to a blueberry iMac that belonged to my deceased mother-in-law.

I kept the PowerBook 520 that I surprised my wife with on her birthday, my PowerBook G3 (Pismo), and the last 17-inch PowerBook G4 made because they don't take up too much room and they are classics.

4. I recently gave a PowerBook 150 to a friend

I have an old grape-colored iMac G3 that runs OS X pretty well, and a 2004 iMac 17" and 2005 iMac 20" that run well on Tiger 4.11. I'm currently designing a hacintosh while I experiment with Ubuntu 10.04 on a PC I built 3 years ago. I'd like to buy a new iMac, if I could afford it, but I want an i7 in a 21.5" box... not sure if they will upgrade that size with a better processor.

7. "2004 iMac 17"

That was the computer that finally drove me to Apple. Now running one of the last white iMacs produced (right before they went aluminum). I have to deal with winblows at work, it is nice to not have to fight a machine at home.

5. I'm reading this with 53-year-old eyes

I boot my G3 Wallstreet Powerbook from time-to-time just to sample the aged OS 9 and seeing Hypercard start.

6. My original 1984 mac would probably work except i don't think the router could handle it

I think the network interface is 10 Mb or slower. My router will only do 100.
