So something you never thought would happen.

[Prez]

I got a iMac.

Not a new one but an old one.

OSX 10.2
1GHZ
256MB
ATI Video
80GB HD
17" LCD

I got it for free so I couldn't pass it up.

I'm ****ing lost on this POS. I can't get it to turn off the shitty clear type that makes fonts fuzzy.

The mouse has no ****ing scroll. WTH is that???? I got firefox on it so it's a little better. It needs more ram though thats forsure.

When I try to reformat this ***** it locks up. Google can't help me with anything. But for a free PC it will do good in my new living room for guests and party goes to use.

I know have 5 pcs. 2PC desktops, 1 Server 03, 1 laptop, and now 1 mac.

I WILL HACK YOU!!!!!

Can put linux on this POS MAC?

[Prez]

O and WHY THE **** would you build the CD tray eject onto this damn keyboard?

WTF APPLE!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Do they make a keyboardmouse that doesn't suck this much ass?

[Paul_N]

wow now GTFO j/p free can't pass up free

[Prez]

This is what it is.

I got the key an dmouse and the bubble speakers with it. O and I just found it has wireless access, aka AIRPORT, way to make it trendy apple!

[SHIFTER]

oh yes you can put linux on it... runs good on them imo. Too bad you dont have a intel powered one. Yeh the non scroll mouses are ghey as fck.... the new ones have a bad ass scroll ball tho... and are dual button.

[SHIFTER]

oh and if you're gonna run os x, get 10.4 or 10.5 when it comes out... 10.2 is WAAAAY slow in comparison.

[David]

If i could make a commerical for this....

i'd get the dell guy to pop in and tell prez... dude... your gettting a mac.......fo free...


*prez* looks a the dell guy cringes.. and proceeds to slam his head into the table.

[Prez]

I am seriouslly hating this thing.

Linux it gets tommrow after I do some research at work. I can't ****ing right click in firefox and spell check. **** THIS THING!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Worse case I donate the LCD panel to my new garage PC set up.

I need right click damn it! New key board/mouse and linux it is.

[roo]

O and WHY THE **** would you build the CD tray eject onto this damn keyboard?

:pissed:

Yeah, they really didn't think that one out at all.

[jaceface]

how did you get it for free? did you get it from satan?

[Prez]

Guy at work no longer wanted it so asked if I knew someone that wanted a mac. I said I'd get the word out and asked how much he wanted. He said free, and I said it's mine.


Something tells me with Ubuntu though the CD tray will no longer eject since it's built into the keyboard?

[jaceface]

isnt there an option menu at the top to select eject cd tray. Its been years since i touched a mac but i do remember something like that

[Prez]

Nope thats the first place I looked.

No lies took me 10 mins to figure out those retards put it on the key board. Normally where the - is on the number pad.


Also looks like Yellowdog Linux is the only good linux that works on these things.


BTW back on one of my PC's. This is so much better.


O AND Why the **** has my post count not been fixed>?

[roo]

There is a key combination or utility somewhere that will open and close it. Good luck finding it.

[jaceface]

just pulled this out of nowhere

In Mac OS X 10.1 and higher, the F12 function key is assigned by
default to the task of opening and closing the CD/DVD tray on
third-party keyboards which are missing a dedicated Eject key.
(Note: you may have to press and hold that key for a second or two.)

[s13curtis]

256mb of RAM? lol

[Prez]

So I put OSX 10.4 on here, or the AKA TRENDY "Tiger" as the fanboys call this ****.

Again more ****ing clear type. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Although it does run better. I need to get more ram for this beotch.

[cconfusionn]

I used MAC for the 2 years of learning Final Cut Pro and 3D software. I ****en hate it. But oh well, you got it for free, what more can you ask?

I'm thinking about building it in to my new coffee table under the glass. Might be kinda neat.

[cconfusionn]

Very creative, make sure you take pics

It's possible, but I am not that ambitious. My work sells everything necessary to make that happen. I got a 17" touch screen just haven't found a good use for it yet. I was thinking my garage but then it will get greasy, so I dunno.

Coffee table You want it under the glass so nothing spills on it so touch won't work.

[BossRoss]

u could do garage. just buy alot of protective film. wash hands/peel off put new one on

[SHIFTER]

meh if you're gonna tear it apart, ill take it... i could really use an imac like that. Hell id give you a few bones for it even

[DarkSlide]

Honestly Prez, I'm in tears I was laughing so hard. MAC FTL!

[SHIFTER]

[DarkSlide]

Two button mouse > one button mouse.

[SHIFTER]

Two button mouse > one button mouse.

lol you know whats funny... all macs come with a two button mouse now. mightymouse ftw... possibly the best mouse ive ever used.

[DarkSlide]

I haven't used a new Mac to be honest. I just hated the old ones I was forced to use in middle school.

[Prez]

I got a two button mouse on it now.

I installed Ubuntu 7.XX last night, it sucked

I installed Ubuntu 6.xx also, it sucked as well.

Both didn't do much for hardware recognition. I went to grab Yellow Dog linux and my ADHD kicked in and couldn't wait for the 4GBs of data so I said **** it and grabbed a 10.4 ( tiger) disk from office since we have a mac for our print designer.

So yeah.

Andrew 200 and it's yours. I see thats about the going rate. otherwise it goes in my coffee table, possibly.

I'll be in town Sunday. :)

I can bring it with me. It's got a fresh install on it now.

[David]

$5

[David]

you could have fun and put it up for auction. :shock:

[Prez]

you could have fun and me in the nuts

What ya doing Sunday night then?

[David]

[BossRoss]

[BossRoss]

cum on anything is an upgrade from this '98 thinkpad

[BossRoss]

i'll trade u my gateway mv305 for it. as long as u get all my pics/songs/**** off my hd and onto my external hd. but to do that u would have to solder the pin back in for the power supply onto the mothrer board

[Prez]

It's a 17"


200 bux or it goes into my coffee table.

That or I put it on a desk in my living room for guests and party goers to use.

That and some how this little peice of **** is growing on me. I kinda think it's cute!

[David]

lol

$5 says 1 year from now prez has some modded out apple

That is considered one of the best "designed" computers ever made... that model of imac i mean.

Not going to lie, it's got a decent design.

What truely amazes me is the LCD. I mean this thing is from 2003. ( late 2003 ) And it has a 17" 1440x990 screen. That at the time was a feat on it's own. The really crazy thing is how thin the panel is. If you compare it to a screen today it's still a thinner panel and this ***** is 4 years old.

Granted it doesn't have the best black levels, or a great viewing angle but for 03 this thing was ahead of it time.

I'll give props when it's due and this thing does deserve some forsure.

However the iphone, and ipod still do not. I pee on your phone, and ipod.


lol...

[BossRoss]

u dont wanna do the trade??????

[Prez]

Nope.

[David]

can someone confirm that microsoft mobil will work on an Iphone?

[Prez]

can someone confirm that microsoft mobil will work on an Iphone?

I have a MM phone from 1 year ago.

It was way head of it's time. It has a touch screen, 4GB SD card. Plays AVI, WMV, divx, mp3, mp4, flac, and much much more plus has a full keyboard. O yeah google maps, you tube, IM, and more for applications.

To bad MS didn't call it iPhone they would have fooled all the emo trendy assholes into buying one. Hell they could have even dropped half the features and made millions.
