Got the first of my G3 all-in-ones running. I installed virtual of with windows 95 then installed Microsoft rdp which is happily letting me download files directly to the hard drive of the Mac.

The new G3 all-in-one

Nice! Cute but big machines.
Nice! I like these for some reason. They were also the first G3 computers my High School got. I have one now and was playing with it last night. But the top clear plastic piece is smashed and I can not find a replacement anywhere. I think people just scrap em. If you think shipping an II is bad, ship one of these!
it's a shame that MS never released an RDP client for Mac OS pre-X
Unity:
I actually snagged about 6 of these so far. Is that the only part you're looking for cause I've got them.

It's RDP from the Windows 95 VM to an XP box running IE6. The colour depth on the VM is limited to 256 colours. (RDP versions pre-XP would be limited to 256 colours as well, but this is the XP client and server.)
Yeah that's what I did. I need to throw a newer browser on there but it was a fresh install of the system.

Yeah this was more of a project just because I had picked up a boxed copy of virtual pc and wanted something to use it for.

Good snag! I had a combination of these and 7200s in high school and picked one up myself last year. They make great bridge machines if you get the right upgrades.
Those AIOs were super popular that very first year (1996?) of E-Rate distributions to schools from the extra fees collected on U.S. phone bills. When I was filling out the (ridiculous) paperwork to get our school some E-Rate funds, the district we were filing through gave us two choices: AIO G3s or generic Pentium PCs.
I remember the day they delivered 12 of these to our loading dock in the basement, and I got to carry them all up the stairs to my 3rd floor computer lab. Boxed weight was ~80lbs. Quite a workout!
I think I got 12 fruity iMacs two years later. Much easier to lug upstairs!
