Technology should never have advanced past this.
>>108579238why does this look so assalso macs suck
>>108579319This desu, the piss 5 has no games but it looks alright.
technology didn't even advance /to/ that. the imac g3 was a low budget internet browsing machine/school shitbox
>>108579683I still think punch cards had soul.
>>108579714But think of all the engineers you are putting out of a job!?!
>>108579238> Imagine having a computer that can't run a video gamesiMac is the gayest shit ever made
>>108579238True, I just wanted OS9 without the crashing
they had written atx powerstate specs back then?
>>108579816Have you tried Haiku?
>>108579711no it was not was better off family computer or real graphing workstation
>>108579718did they ask what you want calculate before selling ibm computer
>>108579841Yes.
>>108579238Yeah, you're right. This was totally okay and should have been normal going forward.
>>108579718what ad says: 150 extra engineers!what business hear: i need hire 150 less engineers, you say?
>>108579719that thang ran unreal tournament 99, starcraft, diablo 2, snes emulators, mame emulators, quake 3. it was a gaming behemoth. i would know because i had one.
>>108579719> muh gaymes
os9/classic is very comfy
>>108579319this is a shitty fan (shill) edit
>>108579238It should never have advanced TO that, because iMac is where everything started to get extremely retarded.
>>108581866i remember putting linux on a titanium p-p-p-powerbook that was lying around at a previous IT job just for fun.worked pretty well, only annoyance was working out scripts to replace the youtube player with a native player since there was no linux ppc version of the flash player plugin... this was a little while ago
>>108581515And it had high quality audio and video with QuickTime and RealPlayer!
>>108579238I kind of agree...Would have been cool if they really invested in PowerPC, I know, I know, PowerPC was the retard version of POWER but it was still cool.
>>108581515OohBut nowadays i thing we can custom build some similar case in Chyna
>>108579719>He doesn't know it had a PlayStation Emulator personally approved by Steve Jobs.
>>108579238>The iMac eschewed legacy technologies like serial ports and floppy disk drives in favor of CD-ROMs and USB ports. No, this thing went too far.
>>108583386You didn't have a USB floppy disk drive?
I've used one.Complete piece of crap.And OS 9 is the worst OS I've ever used
>>108579238What the fuck can I actually do with firewire 400 besides a period correct external drive?
>>108583588Anything that plugs in via usb, is completely soulless.
>>108583598Export from DV cameras, sync early-gen iPods.
>>108583386tfw i made a video in class in intermediate school and because they'd replaced all the computers with imacs i had no way to bring the video home with me. free internet file hosts for big files didn't exist as far as i was aware in 2001, these machines didn't have a floppy drive, the cd drive couldn't burn cd's, and nobody had usb flash drives yet
>>108582332the 1Ghz TiPB was the fastest laptop for years
