Now THAT is someone who has collected too many Macs...

They all have their school ID tags on them. I was reading on some forums for old computers about a salvage guy who deals wih PCs mostly but had a school that wanted to sell him 100 iMacs for $40 each or so. He said they had OS 10.4 on them but only had 128MB of RAM, so he would have to upgrade ram just to get rid of them.

10.4 with 128MB of RAM? It barely runs with 256!!!

 

[funkytoad]

yeah, they have to be school surplus

I wouldn't run 10.2 with only 128mb forget 10.4. You need 512mb. I was running it in 384mb for a while in my G4 and kernal panics were fairly common until I threw a 512mb stick in it.

I ran 10.3 on a 400MHz G3 iMac with 128MB RAM for a while and although it was understandably sluggish, it actually performed much better than I expected and it was usable for internet etc. Everything got a whole lot faster when I put 512MB RAM in it and it now runs 10.4 with no problems.

(With the iMacs face down like that, it looks like a sea of butts...)

$10 says he gets lead poisoning swimming in those iMacs from the CRTs.

but yeah, that's a nice collection.

say, that reminds me, my old elementary school is closing, and they got a bunch of Revision A bondis back in 1998. Wonder if I could scrounge a few, as well as the Biege G3 DT they had, and any other goodies...
