Sad. Great machines. A G5 is my main home desktop/dev
box. Runs like a
dream.
One of my friends' father has been using a third gen G3 iMac for browsing
the web since they first came out. It was all he really needed. Last
December the web site he mainly uses switched to HTML5 so the ancient
browser he had on there couldn't render the site properly.
So my friend "upgraded" him to a G5 iMac, that's five years old. Runs
everything his dad needs again and is comparatively fast.
Note the old G3 iMac is still running fine, it just can't run the latest
browser.
Along with my collection of old Macs, I have a beige G3 and an AGP G4 that
still run fine, after some regular maintenance.
