Wowzers, I picked up a mint condition slot-loading bondi blue iMac at the dump today.

They have power available at this dump shop, so I was able to boot it (sans-keyboard & mouse) and it is loaded with Mac OS X, along with Classic (autoloading). It booted up AMAZINGLY fast, so it looks like it has plenty of RAM, and it could be a decent speed.

This machine may well replace my iBook, for OS9 software (I believe the graphics will be very similar on both). Correct me if I am wrong, but do the slot-loading iMacs have external VGA connector at the rear?

Anyways, gonna have a ball tonight, when I hook up the system to the network, and a spare Mac keyboard and mouse!

Total price (including hand-held game system and other misc cables) $AUS5
