Hi. I got this imac 3days ago & im stuck in install disc2 because the previous owner didn’t give it to me. Only disc1 that was inside the dvd driver. So my question is,do you sell those discs. Cuz i need only disc2 for it to proceed on my imac :/. Apple support don’t have it cuz it’s like crazy old like Greece 😝.
Not for nothing but, I miss the whole "Aqua" look in OS X. Dark Mode is nice and all but, there is something about that Aqua look, especially before Tiger ( with those striped lines ) it was just more colorful, more alive. Now, everything is getting darker... cooler looking but just dark and eh...not aqua.
totally agree with you ..... Apple, Microsoft and Google have decided we all like flat pre-school crayon design and almost no choice at all on UI elements
Ken: "Hey guys, how you all doing?" Me: "My entire family died of cancer and I haven't seen my friends in two months." Ken: "Really, that's just great."
This brings back so many memories off the plastic iMac. I recently put OSX Mojave on my 2009 iMac using a patcher and it works great - Good to know that old iMacs are still great!
Most don't know, since they never really publicly announced it - those Front Row sounds were actually created by Pixar after seeing the software. The team showed Steve Jobs with placeholder sounds and he was basically like "I know who to go to" and a team drove to Pixar in Emeryville and had them create the sounds.
this was an awesome video. As I run a Mac shop, I occasionally get vintage stuff in, and it's so fun to go back to Tiger, where it all started. I was bored with windows waiting for VISTA to finally come out. My Archos Jukebox MP3 player died, and even though I didn't want to spend the money, I ended up getting an iPod. It was just super cool, and there was SO MUCH INFORMATION on the web on how to use it. Im an apple repair business BECAUSE of the iPod halo effect! I bought a Mac mini g4 with Panther, a year before the switch to intel. then I bought an intel iMac and the rest was history. Apple gave you SO MUCH, people really got hooked with all the stuff you got from a Mac.
My dad started his IT business in the mid 90s back home in Florida specializing in Macs. This stuff takes me back. By chance would you know what specific CDs he used for this install. I need the tiger CDs for an 06 iMac I just got but I'm not sure if they need to be specific to the machine.
if your talking about the disks that came with the computer, YES they do have to be for that machine (iMac for iMac, Mac mini for Mac mini) but you can find the general install disks on auction sites, those are NOT specific. @@Papa_Izzy
This iMac was my first Mac experience with running MacOS snow leopard (which fun fact to this day is still my favorite version of MacOS). Then I eventually got one of my own after using my brothers for a little while.
That disk drive was clunky sounding but asides from that vibration sound at 2:59 it sounds exactly like mine did, so its probably fine. Mine ceased reading DVDs latterly but more amusingly, something in the eject mechanism broke so it full on dropped disks onto the table. Special machine for me too tho, it's the first Mac I brought myself. Great vid
My first Mac was this computer, It ran 10.7.5, and I sold it...but Lion couldn't run what I needed... And my favorite part. You can't spell Setup Assistant Without ASS and Entourage is a email client
Hi Ken! I'm a long time lurker and follower but this is my first time commenting. This video really struck me though because we seem to have a similar history with the Mac as a platform. My first computer was my step mom's Mac Classic back in 1992, but after that I used Windows pretty exclusively as a kid and teenager until I went to university and really fell in love with Apple as a company. TECHNICALLY my first return to the Mac was the Hackintosh dual-boot I built in school, followed by my first official Mac being the 2008 Unibody Macbook, but my first in-the-flesh experience with a Mac was the aluminum unibody update to this very machine in your video, which my best friend bought back in 2007. It immediately drew me in, and like you I proceeded to learn and grow immensely creatively by playing around with the creativity software on the Macintosh. I also learned way more about computers by switching to Mac than I ever did when I used PC in high school. Anyway, this video really took me back (especially since I also recently restored a 2007 iMac - the very one I mentioned earlier that my friend passed down to me since he's moving and can't take it with him) so this rang true for me too because DAMN did that restoration process really tug at my heart strings. I know I'm 3 years late with this comment, but thank you so much for this video. :)
Entourage was the email client. It was good until you hit the 4GB wall. Then it would crash. Entourage stored all of the email in one file, which had a limit of 4GB. If it tried to store more, it would crash the application. That's when I stopped using it. Of course that was back around 2004 or something. Hold onto those install discs. It's nice to have those around with all that stuff on them.
As an almost completely blind individual, I fell in love with the mac OS and Apple in general, when I got my first mac: a macbook air in 2012 running mountain lion. And strangely, I never updated the thing until high sierra literally 2 years ago (although I used Yosemite and Sierra quite a bit on my father's 2014 iMac). I now run Mojave on a 2010 mac pro 5,1 as my main machine and dual boot with windows 10. Nobody does accessibility like Apple does accessibility.
OMG I had the white 24 inch model when that came out; I had all the optional extras on it including a whopping 750GB HDD and 3GB of RAM! It was considered a beast back in 2006!! I totally forgot Front Row, that used to make everyone go WOW! How things change eh!!
First version of OS X I used was Panther. Many people don’t remember that OS X, when it originally came out, had issues with performance up until Jaguar in 2002. Panther also had in my opinion, the best welcome/intro video.
The first PC I've used had Windows XP on it, and it is still around at home, unused but still on the desk. In summer 2009 I tried doing an Hackintosh on a laptop I had (it was OS X 10.5), and this was my introduction to the Mac. I then decided to buy the late 2009 iMac, that was my first Mac. Nowadays I use the 2013 Mac Pro and the 2012 13" MPB, and also building a Windows 10 PC.
This is the first Mac OS version for me too, it's the one that came in my black Macbook from 2006. I never updated the OS and I still use it all the time to write my essays and for editing. Fun fact it's from the same year I was born lol
With every iteration of the iMac, each one brings its own charm to the table. The G3 started it all, the G4 pushed the limits of what designs could be, the G5 began the realization of the iMac’s future, every intel model from the white plastic units to the thin retinas innovated on the slab, the iMac Pro showed what a powerful iMac could be, and finally the silicon iMac returned to its roots with color filled innovation just like the G3… a colorful new start to a new era of the Macintosh legacy…
My very first desktop was a old imac from late 2009 my dad used for work until he have it to me at age 9 what i still have besidr my bed and it still boots up just fine after 5 years on MacOS Yosemite
Google Chrome hasn't been supported on Lion since 2016. Using that old version of Chrome is taking a risk at this point. Waterfox is better as it's still supported on Lion.
@@TimurTripp2 yeah but its worse to think about windows xp users using IE xD and yes i know people that are still using IE... and i keep asking me why IE is integrated in windows 10 i mean we have edge
well my first mac was the 32 bit MacBook1,1 ... and this very machine is still with me, tho it got its 3rd logic-board (it used to have a 2.16 GHz C2D for like 6 years, but after that broke it got back the original 1,83 GHz CD). This machine already was split into pieces when I needed its LCD and built up my main MacBook from a machine I used to buy spare parts (but it had a housing in much better condition). Later when I got an even brighter LCD from another MacBook, I put back together all parts from my original MacBook1,1 from 2006 and re-built this very computer with all their original parts I could find. I tried Tiger, but then I installed Snow Leopard, as Tiger is way too outdated when it comes to my internal networking and some other stuff. You even can run the lastest version of SL-compatible Firefox and get a nearly complete modern web experience. On the other hand, it runs debian GNU/Linux 9 with the MATE desktop customized to look at least as good as Mac OS X - even if debian 9 MATE does not have a working Global Menu. Beside this I got my self-made dark-mode-theme with lots of style lend from Mac OS X. Anyway ... it's half past 9 P.M. ... good night!
The SuperDrives on my early 2005 PowerBook G4 15" Aluminum (1.67GHz), mid-2007 black MacBook, mid-2009 white MacBook A1181, and mid-2010 white MacBook A1342 all make that noise. It's normal, so just ignore it.
My nostalgia story seems like it’s identical to yours, except mine was a 20 inch aluminium iMac, 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo processor with 2GB ram, a 500GB hard drive and leopard as the default OS. Otherwise it’s identical. That’s how I learned to edit film in iMovie, I still have the majority of my old photo collection which I set up in iPhoto, I made my first ever website in iWeb, and GarageBand and logic became the backbone of my semiprofessional music career which I still have to this day.
My first Mac was a slot-loading indigo iMac G3 running 10.4.11 lol it wasn’t the speediest (considering it had like 256-512mb of ram and was on its last legs software support wise) but it did everything I needed it to so I loved it like a first child.
Ah, my first Intel Mac was the first Intel iMac, which mum still has in her basement. My own first computer though was the Sinclair Spectrum 128k before moving on to the Atari ST, which ram a small music studio from 1987 when I got it up until 2003 when I went to the PC for a few years before going back to Atari’s for music and Macs for general computing. These days the Atari Falcon030 is long gone as is the Atari TT030 but I still have my ST computers somewhere. The macs are used for video editing as well as general computing stuff and a couple of windows systems, but for me, it has to be macs as my general daily drivers
My elementary school has these imacs running snow leopard and I remember using photo booth and playing around in it, I also remember going on bing and looking up videos even thought I was not supposed to be on youtube. (and yes, I did used bing when I was younger, I started using google in like 2011)
I completely forgot that Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger was my first _actual_ Mac OS as well (I'm not counting Mac OS 8/9, which I used fleetingly on elementary school iMac G3s). I remember using wages from my first job, plus Christmas and birthday money, to buy the very first polycarbonate MacBook ever released-in "iPod white", of course-back in 2006 which, incidentally, shipped with Tiger. Man, I wasted so many hours in PhotoBooth and iMovie. I have fond memories of bringing it with me to Florida to visit my girlfriend at the time, and having to spend hours sitting outside in Florida's swampy 98-degree heat to steal a neighbor's WiFi because her father was too cheap to pay for internet. I loved this version of Mac OS. It had such a nice flow and aesthetic compared to Windows XP, which I had running on a Gateway PC at the time. I hated the design direction Apple pursued in Leopard and beyond. I wish I still had that MacBook, and Mac OS X Tiger with it. I should have kept the thing in storage, but I ended up wiping it and gifting it to my ex-mother-in-law, figuring it was the best option for a non-computer user to get acclimated (it was, but still). Thanks for letting me relieve the memories, Krazy Ken.
I started with macOS Sierra, because that was the time I actually had enough money to buy a MacBook Pro. I still use the computer to this day, except now it has Mojave on it thanks to DosDude's Mojave mod. Although I'm updating to Catalina Monday, once again thanks to DosDude!
I agree about that being a great time for apple users. I have the black Macbook with 10.4 Tiger and I love it, I use it all the time What's the first best time for apple though? That you said
I had very poor luck with OS X. My first Macintosh computer was a mid 2013 MacBook Air. I bought it just when Mavericks came out so the first thing that happened when booting it up and getting it up to date was losing all the pretty UI elements I had been lusting over for years from my little Windows corner. I still appreciate all the multitouch gestures and clean, easy-to-use interface stuff but I miss the way it used to look. Good thing I now have three iMac G3 DV and one iMac G3 DV SE so I can get all the early OS X I want (three machines will be auctioned off after the pandemic so more people can enjoy the glory of transluscent plastic.
Oh man, I have so many computer nostalgia stories that I don't know if I can fit them all in one comment. I'll stick with the Mac side of things: When I started elementary school, it was all PowerMac 5xxx series computers (the really old all-in-ones, from before the iMac was introduced--the school mostly had 5200s, with a few 5400s and 5500s here and there). They switched to iMacs either right before or right after winter break, with some 5400s and 5500s staying around until... probably 2005 or so, when the whole district gradually transitioned to eMacs. But yeah, lots of nostalgia for old Macs, even though I was a PC user at home. (Incidentally, I'm on the lookout for a _very_ obscure program called ClassWorks--not to be confused with ClarisWorks--which we used on those older Macs...) Oh yeah, and at my middle school, we were _not_ prohibited from installing Dashboard Widgets, so everyone had a lot of fun with those. There was a Mario clone called JumpmanIV that I used to play a lot. It sucked, but it was still fun in its own weird way. And because I liked pretending to be a radio DJ, I would load up my Dashboard with a bunch of weather widgets for different cities near Chicago.
sweet jesus i just got one of these at a yard sale for $10 but just the system and pro mouse but i still love it (cuz it's my first iMac as well, never had a mac before)
I got given one of those iMacs for free from my old high school, running lion really slowly, tried snow leopard and decided nah let's go old school with tiger
The first computer I used was a Zenith Z160 PC compatible that ran a very primitive DOS. As a little kid in the single digit age, I could figure out (EDIT: Actually, I was taught by my parents) a command line interface, drive letters, and 5.25" floppy disks. But I wasn't the most careful with handling them so a lot of them got destroyed :-(. I played games in monochrome CGA (the computer was one of the old lugables with a built in monitor) with PC speaker sound. My elementary school had Apple IIe Enhanced computers (the ones with gray keys and a number pad and came with color monitors) because Apple practically gave those away to schools in the 80s.
I’ve got one of these too but it’s even older- it only runs snow leopard. I’m currently using it with a USB stick as the hard drive because the hard drive inside is basically dead, and I don’t feel like opening it up. I still use it for some retro gaming and to stream music occasionally to other Apple devices
this is great! I got all of the OS and trying to install a Leopard or tiger to an external drive, so I can use the old iMovie and other apps which the new imac doesn't work anymore.
I ve got a C2D 2006 iMac too and it´s great, it has been used at home (it was my daughter´s rig) for ten or eleven years and it works just fine. Snow Leopard it´s a better choice for this kitty than Lion and Tiger are, btw. Beautiful, strong machine!
I'm just doing a clean installation of Snow Leopard to the same iMac model as yours while watching your video ahahaha. EDIT: no, mine is the iMac4,1 not 5,1
At my goodwill someone was selling this exact iMac for $20. And then at a garage sale, there was a free TAM which was strange. It was kinda beaten up but oh well.
Back in '06, at 9 years old, I was fervent for Windows Vista to come out. However, I always loved the design of those white plastic iMacs and OS X Tiger. I remember being at the Apple Store near Cedar Grove, NJ and begging my dad to spend about $1400 on one of those machines running Tiger. Long story short, he said no. :( Although, I found an education Late 2006 model on eBay a few years back for $50. Installed Tiger on it and was not disappointed.
My first computer when I was really young was an iBook G4, same one I featured in some of my own videos. But I was super young back then so I barely knew how to use it even. Then my next was a 2009 Windows Vista tower which was low end and costed $300, but surprisingly good for the money, and I ran Minecraft, Roblox and Terraria (Terraria required a gpu upgrade tho) which is all I really did on it. I used it up until 2019 when I built my own PC, running Debian 9 on it (now Debian 10). I also used 3 laptops since 2019, first I used a 2011 MBP 13 inch, then upgraded to 2011 MBP 15 inch, then got a newer computer which is a 2018 mobile workstation laptop running Windows 10.

this exact model was our first Mac when we got it in 2007. I'm 99% sure I will remember the sound of this machine starting up for the rest of my life.
OS X Tiger was actually my introduction to the Macintosh. :D
Mine too, I think it was running 10.4.6 out the box.

Beside this I got my self-made dark-mode-theme with lots of style lend from Mac OS X. Anyway ... it's half past 9 P.M. ... good night!
The SuperDrives on my early 2005 PowerBook G4 15" Aluminum (1.67GHz), mid-2007 black MacBook, mid-2009 white MacBook A1181, and mid-2010 white MacBook A1342 all make that noise. It's normal, so just ignore it.
My nostalgia story seems like it’s identical to yours, except mine was a 20 inch aluminium iMac, 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo processor with 2GB ram, a 500GB hard drive and leopard as the default OS. Otherwise it’s identical. That’s how I learned to edit film in iMovie, I still have the majority of my old photo collection which I set up in iPhoto, I made my first ever website in iWeb, and GarageBand and logic became the backbone of my semiprofessional music career which I still have to this day.
I had my first ever experience with Mac OS X on this machine, i am currently reviving that machine
16:13 Entourage is/was how Outlook was named within 2000's editions of Office for Mac.
My first Mac was a slot-loading indigo iMac G3 running 10.4.11 lol it wasn’t the speediest (considering it had like 256-512mb of ram and was on its last legs software support wise) but it did everything I needed it to so I loved it like a first child.
7:07 I'm guessing the "Checking your installation" is verifying the disk's checksum to make sure no files are corrupt?
The past was soo futuristic.
Ah, my first Intel Mac was the first Intel iMac, which mum still has in her basement. My own first computer though was the Sinclair Spectrum 128k before moving on to the Atari ST, which ram a small music studio from 1987 when I got it up until 2003 when I went to the PC for a few years before going back to Atari’s for music and Macs for general computing.
These days the Atari Falcon030 is long gone as is the Atari TT030 but I still have my ST computers somewhere. The macs are used for video editing as well as general computing stuff and a couple of windows systems, but for me, it has to be macs as my general daily drivers
My elementary school has these imacs running snow leopard and I remember using photo booth and playing around in it, I also remember going on bing and looking up videos even thought I was not supposed to be on youtube. (and yes, I did used bing when I was younger, I started using google in like 2011)
I LOVED the aqua interface
I completely forgot that Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger was my first _actual_ Mac OS as well (I'm not counting Mac OS 8/9, which I used fleetingly on elementary school iMac G3s). I remember using wages from my first job, plus Christmas and birthday money, to buy the very first polycarbonate MacBook ever released-in "iPod white", of course-back in 2006 which, incidentally, shipped with Tiger. Man, I wasted so many hours in PhotoBooth and iMovie. I have fond memories of bringing it with me to Florida to visit my girlfriend at the time, and having to spend hours sitting outside in Florida's swampy 98-degree heat to steal a neighbor's WiFi because her father was too cheap to pay for internet. I loved this version of Mac OS. It had such a nice flow and aesthetic compared to Windows XP, which I had running on a Gateway PC at the time. I hated the design direction Apple pursued in Leopard and beyond.
I wish I still had that MacBook, and Mac OS X Tiger with it. I should have kept the thing in storage, but I ended up wiping it and gifting it to my ex-mother-in-law, figuring it was the best option for a non-computer user to get acclimated (it was, but still). Thanks for letting me relieve the memories, Krazy Ken.
God, I love the Aqua UI.
remembered playing big bang games on a school macbook air
I had one of these in 2007 🙂 My gateway, too.Sound not normal.
I started with macOS Sierra, because that was the time I actually had enough money to buy a MacBook Pro. I still use the computer to this day, except now it has Mojave on it thanks to DosDude's Mojave mod. Although I'm updating to Catalina Monday, once again thanks to DosDude!
A lot of nostalgia. Second best period of Apple (Tiger release). Those white and black MacBooks, damn. Great times for Apple.
I agree about that being a great time for apple users. I have the black Macbook with 10.4 Tiger and I love it, I use it all the time
What's the first best time for apple though? That you said
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess First period would be the 90s - early 2000s.
@@Filipcreate I see, yes they were so creative back then. Too bad the flat design took over imo
I had very poor luck with OS X. My first Macintosh computer was a mid 2013 MacBook Air. I bought it just when Mavericks came out so the first thing that happened when booting it up and getting it up to date was losing all the pretty UI elements I had been lusting over for years from my little Windows corner. I still appreciate all the multitouch gestures and clean, easy-to-use interface stuff but I miss the way it used to look. Good thing I now have three iMac G3 DV and one iMac G3 DV SE so I can get all the early OS X I want (three machines will be auctioned off after the pandemic so more people can enjoy the glory of transluscent plastic.
We still have these in 2024 at our high school
That intro is great
Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar had the coolest intro song. It's Sofa Rockers by Kruder & Dorfmeister.
Mac OS X 10.0 and 10.1 shared the same intro, too : )
Tiger was also my first modern mac OS. Still the best. I immediately regretted the Leopard install.
Oh man, I have so many computer nostalgia stories that I don't know if I can fit them all in one comment.
I'll stick with the Mac side of things: When I started elementary school, it was all PowerMac 5xxx series computers (the really old all-in-ones, from before the iMac was introduced--the school mostly had 5200s, with a few 5400s and 5500s here and there). They switched to iMacs either right before or right after winter break, with some 5400s and 5500s staying around until... probably 2005 or so, when the whole district gradually transitioned to eMacs. But yeah, lots of nostalgia for old Macs, even though I was a PC user at home. (Incidentally, I'm on the lookout for a _very_ obscure program called ClassWorks--not to be confused with ClarisWorks--which we used on those older Macs...)
Oh yeah, and at my middle school, we were _not_ prohibited from installing Dashboard Widgets, so everyone had a lot of fun with those. There was a Mario clone called JumpmanIV that I used to play a lot. It sucked, but it was still fun in its own weird way. And because I liked pretending to be a radio DJ, I would load up my Dashboard with a bunch of weather widgets for different cities near Chicago.
The "Start-up chime" :-)
Mac OS X + Intel = Secret double life
That was one of the greatest Stevenote moments ever… Yes, it's TRUe
@@ComputerClan made Mac OS X sing in the Intel Processor
OS 9 and 10.3 Panther for me. Loved 10.4 Tiger as well.
I have that iMac too! Only mine doesn't like taste of dvd's/cd's and the display turns off after a while :(
sweet jesus i just got one of these at a yard sale for $10 but just the system and pro mouse
but i still love it (cuz it's my first iMac as well, never had a mac before)
I got given one of those iMacs for free from my old high school, running lion really slowly, tried snow leopard and decided nah let's go old school with tiger
I miss the old Apple. Current day Apple is terrible.
The first version of Mac OS I used was 9.1.
really terrible !!! Oh ! why you say like this? i love now a days very much.
@@maacdesmond Current Apple IS terrible.
Entourage was Outlook before Macs had Outlook.
The first computer I used was a Zenith Z160 PC compatible that ran a very primitive DOS. As a little kid in the single digit age, I could figure out (EDIT: Actually, I was taught by my parents) a command line interface, drive letters, and 5.25" floppy disks. But I wasn't the most careful with handling them so a lot of them got destroyed :-(. I played games in monochrome CGA (the computer was one of the old lugables with a built in monitor) with PC speaker sound. My elementary school had Apple IIe Enhanced computers (the ones with gray keys and a number pad and came with color monitors) because Apple practically gave those away to schools in the 80s.
XP Runs on then NT Series.
You got me into Mac! I used Mac about 5 years ago though...
Yay a new episode!🙌🙋
I’ve got one of these too but it’s even older- it only runs snow leopard. I’m currently using it with a USB stick as the hard drive because the hard drive inside is basically dead, and I don’t feel like opening it up. I still use it for some retro gaming and to stream music occasionally to other Apple devices
That caroussel interface...It just remembers me of Xbox 360 Blades dashboard
The sound of CD was normal👍
even that macos version looks better than windows 10
it wasn't macOS back then
it was Mac OS X
Plus yall gonna hate on me but I loved win.8
Aqua was beautiful
this is great! I got all of the OS and trying to install a Leopard or tiger to an external drive, so I can use the old iMovie and other apps which the new imac doesn't work anymore.
my first mac was a 12" powerbook g4, first system was just like yours, 10.4 tiger, and later upgraded to 10.5 leopard
I ve got a C2D 2006 iMac too and it´s great, it has been used at home (it was my daughter´s rig) for ten or eleven years and it works just fine. Snow Leopard it´s a better choice for this kitty than Lion and Tiger are, btw. Beautiful, strong machine!
You mean for this leopard
I never use Mac OS 9 but I don’t know why, I love that UI
17:11 that sound gave me such nostalgia.
I'm just doing a clean installation of Snow Leopard to the same iMac model as yours while watching your video ahahaha.
EDIT: no, mine is the iMac4,1 not 5,1
Tiger might have been one of my favorite Mac OS
This was a very cool os. To the point where I installed it on my Mac mini because why not?
4:10 Poor Mat.
He shat a dvd
At my goodwill someone was selling this exact iMac for $20. And then at a garage sale, there was a free TAM which was strange. It was kinda beaten up but oh well.
Back in '06, at 9 years old, I was fervent for Windows Vista to come out. However, I always loved the design of those white plastic iMacs and OS X Tiger. I remember being at the Apple Store near Cedar Grove, NJ and begging my dad to spend about $1400 on one of those machines running Tiger. Long story short, he said no. :( Although, I found an education Late 2006 model on eBay a few years back for $50. Installed Tiger on it and was not disappointed.
Ah, the joys of depreciation. It saved you $1,350!!! Fun story : )
11:21 I actually have a folder on my iPad called "The remnants of iLife" with iMovie and Garageband in it.
First version of OSX I used was probably 10.3, first one I remember using on a regular basis was Snow Leopard (more specifically 10.6.8)
I'm only able to guess Panther because it was on an emac when I was in kindergarten, so I could easily be misremembering that version.
That puck mouse though.
This wasn't the true "puck" mouse. The puck mouse came with the original iMac G3. This one was shaped differently. Honestly, I liked it.
Mac OS 10.4 users at a blue screen:😁
Windows users at a blue screen:🤬
My first computer when I was really young was an iBook G4, same one I featured in some of my own videos. But I was super young back then so I barely knew how to use it even. Then my next was a 2009 Windows Vista tower which was low end and costed $300, but surprisingly good for the money, and I ran Minecraft, Roblox and Terraria (Terraria required a gpu upgrade tho) which is all I really did on it. I used it up until 2019 when I built my own PC, running Debian 9 on it (now Debian 10). I also used 3 laptops since 2019, first I used a 2011 MBP 13 inch, then upgraded to 2011 MBP 15 inch, then got a newer computer which is a 2018 mobile workstation laptop running Windows 10.
