A silver Power Mac G4 Mirror Drive Doors tower sits on the left side of a desk next to a black and silver 5:4 Dell LCD monitor. The monitor shows Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger with a web browser open to the SpaceHey website (a modern version of the classic MySpace website) and the “About This Mac” window visible, listing Mac OS X version 10.4.11, a dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 processor configuration, and 2 MB of L3 cache per processor. The wallpaper on the desktop is a tiger fur pattern, referencing the operating system codename “Tiger”. In front of the monitor is an Apple keyboard and an Apple mouse on the desk. The setup is in an unfinished basement with exposed wooden framing and pink insulation visible in the background. The lighting is low and warm, provided by a nearby desk lamp out of frame.

This was my first #mac. It’s been a part of my collection for around 13 years now! #vintagemac #oldmac #vintageapple #oldcomputer #powerpc #powerpcmac #powermacg4 #powermac #macosx #macosxtiger #spacehey

A graphite iMac G3 displaying the About This Mac window on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. The system specs list a 500MHz PowerPC G3 processor and 512MB of SDRAM. The desktop wallpaper is a stylized map from Fallout 3, shown in shades of blue and black that glow vividly against the CRT screen. The iMac sits on a desk beside a Dell keyboard and another beige CRT monitor, with CDs stacked on the left and a dimly lit room with pink insulation and grey curtains in the background.

The same iMac G3 running Mac OS X Tiger with a Finder window open, showing user folders such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, and Pictures. The CRT emits a bright glow. A white Apple keyboard is positioned in front of the iMac, and to the left, a stack of jewel-cased CDs and a shelving unit with electronics and cables are visible.

I like to power on my #CRT monitors every now and then. This graphite #imac #imacg3 still looks good, even if the camera made it look soft! #retromac #oldmac #powerpc #powerpcmac #vintagemac #2000snostalgia #nostalgia #oldcomputer #retrocomputer

Restoration of Two Power Mac G4s! One day, I managed to snag a couple of Power Mac G4 systems from a local computer recycler/reseller, and I thought I should film my progress with cleaning them up and getting them up and running. C...

NEW VIDEO ON PEERTUBE! Remember that post about the #powermacg4 systems I made a little while back? Well, I actually did something with them! #videomaking #retroapple #retromac #vintagemac #powerpcmac #powerpc makertube.net/w/cqoedY31bw...

Two Apple laptops are side by side on a beige desk: on the left is a more modern M1 MacBook Air in silver, and on the right is a white iBook G4 running Mac OS X Tiger. The MacBook Air displays the macOS Sequoia desktop, with the “About This Mac” window open, showing it as a MacBook Air with an Apple M1 chip and 8GB of RAM. The iBook G4 screen also shows its system information, revealing it’s running Mac OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.2GHz PowerPC G4 processor and 1.25GB of RAM. The iBook has a vivid rose-themed wallpaper and is plugged into power, with its charging indicator glowing orange. Behind the laptops is a large 24-inch Sun Microsystems LCD monitor, currently powered off, and a white Apple keyboard tucked partially underneath it. A Microsoft-branded mouse is visible on the right edge of the desk, and a partially obscured camera sits to the left of the MacBook Air.

I know it’s not as dramatic as it could be, but I still think the contrast of these two laptops, 14 years apart, looks like. #vintagemac #oldpc #retromac #vintageapple #ibook #ibookg4 #powerpc #powerpcmac #powerpcg4 #macbook #macbookair

A collection of vintage Apple computers is neatly arranged in a basement workspace with unfinished walls lined with pink insulation. The machines are placed on and around a beige desk with a wood-themed vinyl floor beneath. On the floor in the foreground sits a Graphite iMac G3 facing the camera. To the left of it is a Shuttle XPC cube, and to the right are three Power Mac G4 towers in a row: a Quicksilver, a Mirrored Drive Doors (MDD), and a Graphite model. Furthest to the right is an aluminum Mac Pro. On top of the desk are various Apple laptops and desktops. From left to right: a Lime iBook G3 Clamshell is open and angled toward the camera. Behind it, partially obscured by the laptops, is a white iMac G4. Next to the iBook G3 is a 12-inch PowerBook G4, followed by a 15-inch PowerBook G4, and then a 12-inch iBook G4, all open and arranged in a tidy row. Behind them is a large 24-inch Sun Microsystems LCD monitor, which is connected to a Power Mac G5 tower sitting on the right. On top of the Power Mac G5 is a PowerBook G3 “Pismo” model.

My current #powerpcmac lineup! #ibookg3 and #ibookg4, #powerbookg4 and #powerbookg3, #powermacg4 and #powermacg5, #imacg3 and #imacg4, and a #shuttlexpc and #macpro for good measure!

A white Apple iBook G4 laptop with a 12 inch screen is open on a beige desk, displaying the “About This Mac” window in Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger). The desktop background is a close-up photo of a rose in shades of pink and coral. The system specs indicate it has a 1.2GHz PowerPC G4 processor and 1.25GB of DDR SDRAM. An orange charging light is visible on the right side of the laptop. In the background is a full-sized external Apple keyboard and a turned-off desktop monitor from Sun Microsystems, along with some scattered accessories like a CD and a mouse. The scene has a warm, cozy feel with soft lighting.

The iBook G4 screen shows the Wikipedia article for the “iBook” series, open in the InterWebPPC browser. The page discusses the history and models of Apple’s iBook laptops, with the sidebar on the right side of the screen showing an image of the original iBook G3 Clamshell in Blueberry color. The browser’s toolbar and window decorations reflect the Mac OS X Aqua interface, and the menu bar at the top confirms the time is 2:54 AM. The shot emphasizes both the functionality of the old hardware and its continued usefulness for casual browsing, as it still works for simple tasks even if it’s slow.

The iBook G4 is now running Minecraft, displayed in a window filling most of the desktop titled “Minecraft: Fast SP.” The in-game interface shows a first-person view of a blocky, stylized environment with trees, grass, and water, using a simplified visual mode to boost performance. Text in the upper right instructs the player to press ‘E’ to open the inventory. The game is running at a smooth 70 frames per second. The system clock shows 3:15 AM, and the Wi-Fi and battery indicators confirm full signal and 100% charge, and the dock in the bottom is visible, but small, and even includes the Fallout game icon. The soft glow from the orange charging light continues to illuminate the bottom right of the laptop.

This is another #thriftstorefind. Yes - an #ibookg4 running #minecraft! #ibook #oldmac #oldcomputer #2000s #2000snostalgia #nostalgia #powerpc #powerpcmac

A Graphite Power Mac G4 is set up on a beige desk, running Mac OS 9 and displaying the Classilla web browser on a large 24-inch Sun Microsystems LCD monitor. The browser is open to the Classilla archive page, offering downloads and documentation for the legacy Mac OS browser. The desktop background is the classic gray-blue Mac OS 9 theme with a few icons on the right-hand side. The Power Mac G4 sits to the right of the monitor, featuring its signature translucent graphite plastic with a ribbed dark front panel, Apple logo on the side, and translucent curved handles on top and bottom. In front of the monitor is a white Apple Pro Keyboard and a matching white Apple Pro Mouse on a black wrist-support mousepad. The setup is neatly arranged, with the monitor showing a clear and vibrant image, impressive for a vintage machine. To the left on the desk are a black USB flash drive, a camera lens partially in frame, a remote control, and a rounded CD storage case. The background features unfinished walls with pink fiberglass insulation and a gray curtain off to the side, giving the space a practical, hobbyist basement feel.

Okay. This monitor is a super interesting #thriftstorefind. It’s a Sun Microsystems 24.1” LCD Monitor v4, from 2004 or so! 1920x1200, great image, and would’ve been VERY expensive when new! #macos9 #oldmac #powerpc #powerpcmac #sunmicrosystems

Well, do these #powermacg4 systems work? #powerpc #powerpcmac #oldmac #vintagemac #retromac #vintageapple #apple #retrocomputer #oldcomputer #vintagecomputer #2000snostalgia

Three vintage Apple Power Mac G4 towers are lined up side by side on a light wood-style vinyl floor. They are positioned near a desk with exposed computer cables underneath, and unfinished pink fiberglass insulation on the wall behind them. From left to right, the first machine is a Power Mac G4 Graphite model, featuring a translucent smoky gray front panel with vertical ribbing, a tray-loading optical drive, a circular speaker grille, and a white Apple logo near the top. A white asset sticker from an electronics recycler is affixed to the front. Next is the Power Mac G4 Quicksilver, which has a sleeker, metallic silver faceplate with rounded edges. The front panel includes two optical drive bays and a circular speaker port. It also has a white asset label on the front from the same recycler. The third tower is the Power Mac G4 MDD (Mirrored Drive Doors), distinguished by its mirrored drive bay cover, silver circular power button, and four small vertical ventilation slots near the bottom of the front panel. It does not have a recycler label on the front, as it has been in my collection since 2012. All three systems share the iconic translucent polycarbonate handles and curvy aesthetic characteristic of early 2000s Apple hardware.

Look what followed me home today! The two #powermacg4 systems on the left, I found for cheap, and compliment the MDD (on the right) I’ve had since 2012! #powermac #retrocomputer #oldcomputer #vintageapple #retromac #vintagemac #macos9 #2000snostalgia #powerpc #powerpcg4 #powermacintosh #powerpcmac

A graphite iMac G3 sitting on a desk, showing a Mac OS X 10.4.11 desktop. The desktop wallpaper is a world map from the game Fallout 3. There is a newer Apple keyboard sitting in front.

The same graphite iMac G3 on the desk, this time showing a gameplay scenario from Fallout, at the entrance of a military base guarded by Nightkin (mutant) enemies.

Even though it’s been sitting close by for a long time, I kind of forgot about this old beast! This #imacg3 #imac has a 600MHz #g3 with 512MB of RAM, and has the graphite colour! Still works lovely! #vintagemac #retromac #retrocomputer #vintageapple #2000snostalgia #fallout #powerpc #powerpcmac
