While we generally like the iMac as a family-oriented or multimedia system, this low-end model comes with a minimal 64 MB of memory. That's one of the reasons it ships with Mac OS 9 rather than the newer and more impressive Mac OS X, for which Apple recommends a minimum of 128 MB. Other system components are adequate and include a 500 MHz PowerPC G3 processor, 20 GB hard drive, and a CD-RW drive. As with all iMacs, a modem and Ethernet networking are standard, and the system case is an integrated design that houses a 15-inch monitor. While the iMac product line includes some solid choices for home use, this particular model wouldn't be our first choice.

Great Little Computer!.......2004-06-05

This is my third iMac (moved up from a G3 400mhz) and it is simply wonderful.

It does everything I ask it to and didn't even brake the bank. Mine cam equiped with a 500MHz G3, 40GB HDD, 256mb pc100 sdram, 16mb ATI Rage 128 Ultra AGP 2x, and a Combo Drive (normally this model comes with a CDRW).

I burn all my cd's, watch tons of DVDs, run Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS 10.3.x perfectly fine and play some older games (I'm not a fan of most new games, but love the older ones like Quake 1,2,3, Unreal and AvP!).

Mac OS X runs great, which I was very surprised about. I also run Adobe Photoshop 7 and Office X on this machine and it does it all very well.

Perfectly happy with this machine and I'm sure that when I go to upgrade again I will keep this one around for odd jobs.

BAD Computer.......2004-01-14

My friend showed me this computer, and I never really saw why heliked it so much. It crashed if you ran 2 or more programs and it has hardly any software. It may have virtual PC, but that crashes every time you do something useful. You may think I shouldn't be reviewing this, but I spent enough time on it to know it's a terrible computer. It has some upsides (like you don't need to type .com and the starting time is somewhat reasonable), but not enough to distract you from how terrible it is. If the monitor breaks, your whole computer is dead. Trust me, if you want a good operating system, you should get Windows 2000 Professional. It's the best operating system I've used, and Mac OS 9 is the worst.

Take a bite..........2003-11-14

I have explored many types of computers. I ran my Parliamentary office off a Commodore 128 (the good version) and was the envy of all of my typewriter-bound colleagues; I had an Apricot (raise your hand if you've even heard of that!); I've had several IBM clones as well as the IBM XT (which stands for Xtra Terrible now) up to my Pentium III; but my love has always burned strongest for my Macs. Progressing from a Mac Plus to an SE to a IIsi to a G3, Macs have always been the way to go for so many things, especially when recommending to others on the basis of ease of use and learning.

So, when the Indiana Literacy Foundation needed to upgrade their out-of-date Macs, we ordered iMacs. These are fast machines (we got the 500MHz variety) that are easy to learn and easy to set up. They connected with no problem to our Ethernet network which ran the printers and the internet connection. The office runs primarily on MS Office and a 4D shared database; the iMacs performed marvelously in these tasks, too.

The biggest drawback would have to be the lack of ports (they really do need to have at least one more UBS port); and there needs to be a disk drive -- hard to transport data to off-network (or, when the network is down, no-network) computers; but perhaps the most user-conscious problem lies with the mouse and keyboard. The mouse is round, it slips to easily under the hand; the keyboard is small (feels cramped to use) and doesn't tilt up enough.

However, these iMacs have served the Foundation well for a few years, and everyone was aglow with happiness (having been released from bondage to PowerMac 6100 slow pokes).

Ah yes, we got the blueberry kind (because they were on sale).

This machine ought to be called the iCrash! because that's all it's done since the day I bought it.
