I came upon a couple of rev B iMacs recently, both in working condition, and I wanted to know what I could do with them. Neither have airport cards, neither have sufficient ram to run OSX. I'd like to use them for storage of some sort but not sure how best to use them. Any thoughts?

    Do you mean the fruit flavored iMacs? G3's running at 266 MHtz? ... The hard drives were only 6 or 8 GB if i recall correctly... no a lot of storage there. Connected to a network via ethernet, it might make a good print server. They don't even make good casual internet terminals anymore, as they aren't even powerful enough to handle the embeded flash that's all over the place.

    Donate them for a good cause and take the tax break

    No!



    Revision B iMacs are Bondi Blue and 233Mhz.... just like revision A.



    They have more VRAM
