I might be getting ANOTHER G4 iMac shortly, [...] Let me know if you are still interested...

Hi tmm. Sorry for the slow response. I've been thinking over about this, and as much as I would like this iMac I just haven't the room for another computer in the house right now. A pity as a working G4 that doesn't take up too much room would come in handy here. Thanks for asking me, all the same.

Hi tmm, S'OK and I can understand the reluctance in posting such a large and odd shaped item. Plus having some old pc that can boot native into 9.2.2 or earlier is getting to be more of a rarity, not the norm.

Bar yourself I don't know a soul living in your state neither, sad to say. There's bound to be a few who visit the MG tho.

Cheers for now.

Yup, it has 10.4.11 on there as well, but boots always into 9.2.2

urrrgh, I don't have a box, and if you've seen the sunflower iMac, you know what a b*tch it is to ship anywhere (monitor on a swivel/tilt arm). My swivel/tilt arm is in very firm/good condition (they usually get too loose and rattly) but I doubt it would arrive in NSW in one piece

If you know someone in Tasmania who is willing to package and post it, I will gladly pass it onto him/her for you.

PS. It has one drilled screwhole on the base, and the burner is not installed at the moment (but can be reinstalled - I believe it is either a DVD-ROM/CDRW or a SATA-CONVERTER+DVDRW. Whichever I can find.

PPS. This is the one I would rather keep, as the G5 only does "Classic Mode" yUURCH

Thanks for responding. It looks and sounds cool, so I thought I'd ask.

Hey, macmeister, I have a quick question. What game is your avatar from?

Comment by themacmeister

You are the first to ask. This is from Dino Run SE. I picked it up on Desura, but I'm sure you can get it elsewhere, possibly even on Steam.

It now works under Win/Lin/OSX -- Mavericks yes, Yosemite unknown.

It is only a casual game, and good for maybe 10 minutes per session, but I like the visuals and the sound/music. Gameplay is a little like wave runner 2 -- outrunning the apocalypse.

Try the iLife '04 link again - looks like there was a character missing.

Comment by themacmeister

many thanks, download too slow at the moment (12hr+). Started at 500kb/s, rapidly dropped to only about 50kb/s

Hi! I'm new here and I wonder if a list of all the app here exist: I have dozens of MacAddict, MacWorld, SVM from the 90's and it would help me (save a lot of time) to select what I could upload to you guys (Lots of FW and SW)…
Let me know!
Ciao

Hello! New here, brings back so many memories! I was flicking through the apps list and saw you had Illustrator 9, i would be very grateful is you could re-upload it as the mediafire link has gone. Many thanks if you can!

Comment by themacmeister

I am currently using 10.0, but I will have a look, and see what I can do. Just got back on the iBook for the first time in a few months. Had a lot of fun playing Ambrosia games.

Many thanks ! I understand, what happens in this camp, stays in this camp : ) Does the game work well with today's Apple computers ? All I know is that they update the game to work on OS X

Comment by themacmeister

Only ever played this on OS9, don't know how it plays on OSX sorry.

Hi Themacmeister,
I've got a Hoyle Board Games collection, also in German language, which could be the 2001 version you request. Please check the one I've commented on 2012, May 16 - 4:55pm at this page:

Comment by themacmeister

I was looking for CARD games, sorry about the confusion. Someone here has the German version (or saw it on ebay in Germany). I wanted the English version sorry.

Cheers.

That Rage128 still does not do DVD decoding... The DVD decoder card is online for $90 !!!

I think I will try for a Radeon, if one becomes available!

Glad you got the k'board & mouse OK. They were in excellent working order before sending so I hope they reached you in good nick.

For your Beige G3 check out applebits sale in ebay.au for the ATI Rage Pro 128 card, this card is excellent in the G3, it has VGA out only and not the 15 pin D-sub that old Mac monitors used.

Apologies for recent (short lived) hacking of my hotmail account. I have retaken control and changed passwords/secret questions, so shouldn't happen again. Thanks for pointing it out!

Macmeister, I am recieving junk mail from your hotmail account. Was it hacked or caught a virus?
Please try to cut it out.

Hi, I saw that you were able to play Gridz in:

http://macintoshgarden.org/games/gridz#comment-23846

I was wondering if you could message or email me a gridz serial key which gives access to the single player game, the posted serial is only for network play. I have sent a message to Green Dragon Creations but no response so far. I would be forever thankful
