So I just got a G3...

[blankedboy]

I just bought this hulky monster from a guy from school, the iMac G3.

I shoved some games and music on there, most of it didn't work, I can't get the internet going without whipping out $500 or so bucks for a wireless router... what should I do with it?

EDIT: 800th post

Doesn't matter

Just video tape whatever you decide to do.

(shameless bump)

I would edit that. Mods don't like bumps. Especially when it hasn't even fallen off the first page

 

[brtshstel]

I would love to have one as a collector's item

Make the damn best of what you have...if you're just gonna sit and complain about it then why did you initially buy the damn thing.

 

[Ftaghn To You Too]

Kill it. I hated those things in school.

All they did was give us gold freaking ribbons for answering third grade questions in sixth.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Set it on fire, throw it through the window of your enemy.
That's all I got.

It was $20 NZ (that's about $12 US), and I didn't realise how little would run on it.

@Pimppeter: If I edit, then you have to edit too

 

[Irridium]

KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Oh, and film it when you do.

Either that or throw it into a busy street.

Just whatever you do, video tape it and show us.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

I'm confused... you bought it?

Why?

 

[The Rascal King]

I have one of those, it's blue too. It is a smurf colored turd that can rot in my attic for all I care.

PC! PC!

 

[DoctorNick]

Oh damn, that was disappointing. When I read 'G3' I thought you meant one of these:

Spoiler: Shiny...

...which would have been much more exciting.

Anyway, I guess you could install some media editing software of some sort on it and pretend to be a starving-artist mac snob. If you're willing to carry it with you it'll make a great Halloween costume! Just get a pair of khakis, a turtle neck sweater, a beret and you'll be set!

 

[Sassafrass]

Get your money back.
Nooooooooo!!! Get back inside, sensible side!!!

it up with some fireworks. Then ask for your money back saying it exploded when you turned it on.
Or your money back.

 

[Americow]

Break it with a baseball bat. My friends and I did that with an old boombox, it's very stress relieving.

 

[blankedboy]

Well....


The fireworks idea sounds good, and yes, PC does own the shit out of Mac, but surely there's SOMETHING useful/entertaining I can do?

(without destroying it)

 

[ottenni]

All i can say is trebuchet. Use your imagination from there.

 

[blankedboy]

Well, the topic died without a single intelligent post, except maybe Pimppeter. Thanks, guys.

R.I.P. topic

Idk, maybe you could use it to store information on, like a really big flash drive, that just happens to have a screen on it?

actually you can get a WRT54G Router only for 60$ at Amazon...

 

[mezmerizer02]

LOLZ a G3 is the equivelant of a 486mHz intel processor with a 4gig HDD. and you can't upgrade the piece of sh*t. that's why you never buy apple. LOL...

Your $60 is my $108, and that's a bloody heap around here.

@mezmerizer02, if you don't have anything useful to say, then shut up.

Nice one... that's my purpose for now.
