My landlord gave me this original Rev B Bondi Blue iMac G3. It's spotless. He had it sitting up in the attic and no longer had a use for it so he said I could have it. What a score!
The RAM was never upgraded past 96 Megs. The original OS 8 install was toast. I upgraded the hard drive and gave it a fresh OS 9.2 install. Once my RAM comes in from eBay it'll be maxed out and I'll throw OS X on there too.
The only this missing was the mouse so I ordered one from eBay. The seller said it was a bondi blue iMac mouse and when I go it in, it was a M4848. It was disgustingly dirty so I took the whole thing apart to clean it. During reassembly, I broke off the little piece of plastic that contacts the mouse button underneath. I attempted to put a small dab of Krazy Glue on it, but it ate right threw the plastic. What a mess. So I ordered a new one.
I just got the new one in the mail, and although it is a M4848, the color is obviously different. The logic boards are two different colors too, as well as the sticker underneath.
Was there a difference between the mice from Rev A to Rev B? Or is the first one I got "blueberry". I can't tell since I've never seen "blueberry" in person.
The mouse on the right is the one I got today and I'd have to say that it's a closer match to the iMac. So I guess the one on the left that I got previously is "blueberry"?
