Lemmy needs content, so heres a picture of my iMac G4

👁️👄👁️

Anyone else see this?

Looks like a certain stabbin' robot to me...

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

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

I love the sunflower Mac! I remember being a little kid watching the commercial where a guy makes faces at it and pops its disc player out!

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

I miss the old G4 TV

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.

Omg its ugly. I love it

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

Again but with the tongue sticking out :P

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

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.

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

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

That’s awesome. Do you have any games/software you use it to run or is it more of a display piece? I’ve been thinking of trying to get a bondi blue G3 and using a pi to proxy and render web traffic and loading it up with some classic Mac games. Just don’t have the space right now.

I love vintage computers like this though. Thanks for sharing

Old school cool.

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

Nice!

I haven’t used my G3 a single time 🥲

I still have mine somewhere, loved it

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

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

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

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

Oh, she’s pretty.

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.

Oh man, hope you're still using this 😆

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

Does it fly like a G6?

Does it come in every color found in white light? I'd like it in teal.

Edit: teal not real

Classic. I loved the PowerPC days. Still run a G4 tower every now and then; works like a champ!

Pareidolia

This design really speaks to me. It says:

ALL UR BASE R BELONG TO US

:-)

What year?

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.
