I ended up with a iMac G3 (the all-in-one egg-shaped design) when the previous
owner had a "forgot the password" issue, around 2010 (I think).
With some help from a fellow fidonet echo friend, I managed to get one of the
earlier OSX OSes on it.
I imagined putting it on display at my shop and allow people to browse
inventory or a local webserver. But the CRT display technology is a power hog
and would contribute extra cost to run. The darn thing is pretty heavy too.
The ethernet port seems to be defective. But usb/wi-fi dongle could work.
Sadly, it will need to make a visit to the landfill museum.
