I have an eMac G4, can't beat that CRT!


I've got one few years ago - sister was using it for a bit till something else could be managed. It came with a replaced hdd and removed airport card, and old battery. I managed to install Lubuntu side by side with 10.4 but mid-pandemic decided to try some retro fun and deployed dualboot with MacOS 9.0.4 and dug thru Macintosh Garden depths. What's interesting is that machine managed to download updates for 10.4.


I had one back when they were new / for sale. Wish I kept it.

I remember toying with the idea of doing a soldering hack that was floating around in order to overclock the system. I imagine it was moving some resistors around or something. Never did it though.
