Heck yeah, such a unique design! I've got a widescreen one in my collection, but without the speakers, sadly.

[-] zippoz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The widescreen ones look sick

[-] generalpotato@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I want Apple to make something that wild again. They’ve been a bit more on the conservative and safe end lately.

[-] Feirdro@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

They had to steal much needed market share from Microsoft/Intel at the time, so they did crazy stuff. Now they’ve got something to lose.

I think it wants to know if I have any games on my phone.

[-] Bruncvik@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I remember how frustrated I was with that. We got them in the office, and nobody could figure out how to open the CD drive. We were all Windows users previously, and we spent way too much time trying to open the drive, without any success. One of my coworkers knew a guy who was using Macs, so he called him over. The Mac user looked at us as if we just recently fell from the sky, said "but it's so obvious!" and proceeded to click and drag the CD drive icon into the Recycling Bin, which opened the drive.

[-] Ishigami@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Should have also thrown the MAC in the recycle bin 😂

[-] zippoz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Only way I found to open it was using the cd ripping function in iTunes lol

[-] One_Large_Dumple@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I miss the old G4 TV

[-] Poseidon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I really loved the early iMacs. Such standout computers for those made at the time.

[-] Casmael@geddit.social 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah I remember seeing them on display in John Lewis (uk department store) in like 2002 or whatever and thinking they looked like the coolest fucking computers I’d ever seen. Really great design imo shame it only lasted one generation.

[-] SloppyPuppy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Omg its ugly. I love it

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Again but with the tongue sticking out :P

[-] RoyalEngineering@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Very nice. With the original speakers too.

I’d love it if they went back to some of their more ‘experimental’ designs. The current iMacs look good, if a bit…derivative.

Man those hinges were just so solid and 🤌🤌🤌

That screen was just floating on air, taking the slightest touch to adjust. But never wobbling with your typing! One of the most over-engineered things and it was glorious

[-] signofzeta@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I’ve always liked the lamp. Those displays got fairly wide by the end of production.

[-] iThinkergoiMac@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Makes me want to pull out my 12” PowerBook G4. Those were some great computers.

[-] Chadsmo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The Ti PowerBooks were so amazing. A friend had the 12 inch and I was pretty jealous.

Actually wondering if anybody remembered to pack r/oldschoolcool

[-] stux@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

Dope lil machine, I bid on one on eBay a couple months back and forgot about it so I lost

[-] macintosh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Beautiful machine. I'm still sad to this day that my family managed to misplace ours at some point across our various moves.

[-] TheLazurus@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Oooh I’ve gotta take a picture of my collection, old and new…

The flower pot was my first Mac and I miss it so much.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I enjoyed my G4, but finally the hinge broke and the monitor stayed at the bottom, which was annoying. There was no apparent way to fix it either. I ended up giving it to a friend who didn't have a computer and he was grateful.

[-] Sinister_Grape@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh, she’s pretty.

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I still have mine somewhere, loved it

[-] Surp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What do people do with older iMacs? Just a nostalgia trip really I guess? I totally understand that it's a lot of fun.

[-] GloopTamer@discuss.online 3 points 1 year ago

I haven’t used my G3 a single time 🥲

Ahh, the LSR (Lump Stick Rectangle) model. Miss those.

[-] Casmael@geddit.social 2 points 1 year ago

Lmao now you mention it that’s what it is isn’t it 🥲

[-] Xepher@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Oh man, hope you're still using this 😆

[-] dutchkimble@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Does it fly like a G6?

Such a lovely design! I remember getting a PowerBook G4 in 200(2?) and just marvelling at the look of it for so long… such a great product range from around that era.
