17-inch iMac G4

Finally I got it! A 17-inch iMac G4 (1.25GHz).

I won an iMac DV 500MHz (G3) on eBay the other day, but the iMac can't be booted. And I decided not to get it. Before winning that iMac (G3), I've actually been looking for an iMac G4, mainly 17-inch, on eBay for more than two weeks. I bid a number of times, but always outbid in the last minutes by $5 to $10.

Currently, I have a 24-inch iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.33GHz) and a PowerBook G4 (12-inch, 1.33GHz). I don't really *need* another Mac, however, this iMac G4 is the Mac I've always wanted to have, and finally I got it from eBay. This iMac is just sooo good looking.

Remember this Apple commercial in 2002?

(click above QuickTime screen shot for the video clip, H.264, 30 sec, 2.2MB)

The video clip taken from Apple.com and converted to state-of-the-art video codec H.264, which delivers stunning quality at remarkably low data rate. QuickTime Player 7 (free) is recommended for watching the video. Elgato Turbo.264 was used for H.264 encoding.
