Nostalgia Trip.

I picked up a couple of neat finds on Craigslist this week. The first is
an original Bondi Blue iMac, in mint condition. It was owned by an older
couple, and came with all of the software, the original box, and the
manuals. Incredible find.

The second is a Power Mac G4, dual 1GHz processors. All decked out with
the maximum 2GB of RAM, and works beautifully. It is the old mirrored-
drive "windtunnel" G4, so my first project is to swap out the PSU fans
with some Noctuas.

I don't have any plans for them really, but the iMac did come with a ton
of edutainment software from the 90s, so I'll have some fun with that.

All of this Mac nostalgia is making me want to pick up a G5 system. They
can be had very inexpensively these days, and it would be fun to play
around with some ppc64 distros.
