Brings back memories, I bought a new 350mhz iMac like that when they were new. Loved it. Sadly iMacs now have their plastic fadded and internal plastics cracked, I still have my 700mhz G3 iMac (the newest G3) and while she is old and tired she works like new. Wish I could find a purpose for her today.

a little patience never hurts :)

Moral of the story, make sure your NIB iMac has its firmware updated before you try to install OSX on it :)

Congrats. I've got the rev. b of the original bondi imac only mine is scratched, dinged, and has minor breakage inside :'( , and also no longer has it's stock cpu. 333mhz sounded better.
