I saw a few converted G3′s into fish tanks, and thought I could do something similar.

After a hour or so applying some customized ‘patches’ I have finished the final product, which I call the iCat.

I think ‘Melodie’ will get far more use out of this than I ever did. May have trouble loading software on it though (it is now missing a mouse *grin*).

It’s a G3, 450Mhz, 256M memory iMac. Not the latest or greatest, but for $80 I’m not complaining either.

Why would I want an iMac? Well, why not. I’m keen to see the difference between the Mac’s and Windows. I haven’t been impressed with Vista so far and I like to keep my options opened. ;)

I’ll most likely end up using it for development work, as well as playing around with Inform7, maybe even run BlitzMax on it as well. I’m sure there are many other users I can find for it as time goes on.
