Hi Everyone,

looking around the internet found there are numerous people who have either turned their G4 into a lamp or their G3 into a fish tank etc. I have a Bondi blue G3 which works perfectly but doesnt really get used, but i have a G4 which is used as a kitchen hifi and print server which turns alot of heads :)

i was just wondering how many people out there still use a G5, G4 or even G3 iMac? If so, which one? what do you use it for? Do you still use it as you main computer or as something else? Very interested to hear from other owners and their stories!
 
I have the white slot loading G3 iMac. I use it as a secondary computer for whenever my brother is playing games on my Win Pro and I want to browse the internet or talk to people on Messenger. I do have a laptop lying around but there are times where I just can't be bothered to go down two flights of stairs to get it. :)

My iMac will a lot more useful when OS X Tiger (on 16 CDs!) comes through the post soon. I'm unable to browse to many sights because IE for Mac 5 or Safari 1.x is just too outdated to view them correctly. So far, my iMac is running Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X Jaguar on separate partitions.
