Cameront9's finds
Posted by: EvieSigma on 2018-08-31 07:42:57 Mine has one, and I have the keyboard and puck mouse but the keyboard is missing a few keys...
Posted by: Cameront9 on 2018-08-31 11:53:36 It's 266, not 233--my mistake. And that is 8.6. in the picture above. I actually got this machine on the internet last night via sharing the wifi connection of my Macbook Pro via ethernet. However, it can't really do much, and it doesn't seem to have enough speed and/or memory to run Classilla well.

Posted by: Retro Rider on 2018-09-05 07:51:22 I have a Rev. B iMac G3, it has Mac OS 9, and I downloaded classila on it, and it seems to work alright, it can be a pain to get around but it works for the most part.

I think that's my problem as the iMac I got only has 32MB. Definitely needs an upgrade!

Classilla's absolute barebones minimum RAM requirement is 64 MB, so it's amazing it runs at all! I'd recommend getting at least 128 MB for things to work smoothly. c
Posted by: DarthNvader on 2018-10-02 18:57:08 Ooh, Flower Power, lucky. I know those hippie computers are objectively ridiculous but I still want one, and they are among the few colors I lack. (I also lack a Snow, Graphite and Sage, but mostly out of lack of interest - I just find them boring or ugly.) Someone keeps offering a Flower Power on ebay for $450 despite zero bids cycle after cycle. Hope springs eternal. Love the indigo, I would totally grab that for $20 if I thought it was cosmetically repairable even though I already have one. The ruby is really pretty too. Pink is not usually my deal but I have to say the Strawberry is one of the prettiest of the original fruit colors (and consistently one of the hardest to snag, other people must like it too). It was the last color of the fruit spectrum I acquired. Hmmm........ https://charlotte.craigslist.org/sys/d/apple-imac-g3-desktop/6705088916.html Not to far from me, but who wants to pay the shipping.

Posted by: Cameront9 on 2019-10-10 12:47:01 Picked up a Newton MessagePad (the very first model) from eBay! Came with the unit, manual, and a Newton Fax Modem. It works, but there's not a lot to do with an original Newton! Fun to play with though.
