Just wanted to share with you all my most recent new-to-me Mac
My girlfriend has an aunt that is extremely obsessive about taking care of her things. Her house is frightening levels of immaculate. Anyway, we were out at dinner a week or so ago when she mentioned something about her MacBook. We got to talking about computers and Macs, and she told me that she had an "old Mac G-something" that she had been moving around from house to house (she apparently moves quite often) for several years and wanted to get rid of it. She said that she would give it to me after she had a chance to delete her data, as she apparently hadn't even plugged it in in years.
A few days later, she drops off an absolutely immaculate iMac G5. It's a 20" 1.8GHz original G5, and is stunningly beautiful. There is not a scratch to be found on this machine. I opened it up to install 2GB of RAM, and found that there is barely a speck of dust inside it. I checked all of the capacitors, and they are all perfect! She brought it in the original box with all of the original accessories and everything. I have it set up on my desk, taking the place of the iMac G4. This thing is quite the computer! And all for the low, low price of free!
Seeing as how it was sitting sadly in various closets for the past several years, I think this counts as a genuine liberation of an aging PowerPC Mac!
Plus, it completes the iFamily that you can see in the second picture
