I could be getting two iMac G3s

My grandma knows a guy who she is friends with has two iMac G3s, and also tons of software.

I've already been given some software, which I'm trying to sell.
He doesn't want any money for any of it, so it looks like I could be getting two graphite iMac G3s for free.
Now for context, I've been searching for an iMac G3 for around 4-5 years now and have only ever seen one in real life once, as where I'm from they are super rare here.

It would be nice to own an all-in-one PowerPC Mac, as I haven't had one for a while. My last PowerPC Macs were thrown out due to two of them dying and one being almost dead, and I was in the process of moving and didn't have the space to keep them, and lacked knowledge to fix them, so they ended up going.

I really hope it all works out, as I would love to own an iMac G3 after all this time.

Anyway, I'll let those that are interested know how it goes!

Good luck! If they don't turn on, trying leaving them plugged in for several days and try again. (Replace the batteries and reset the PMUs first!)

Thanks for the info! Apparently they were still in his library, so I have hope they work.
