Interest in Apple has obviously gone up since then. Like many Macs, all it really needed was a memory upgrade. It wasn’t fast, but with a 1.25GHz PowerPC G4 it was quick enough for most of what you needed to do with a Mac back then.
In this pre-hackintosh world, Apple was enough of a curiosity that a $499 Mac made a lot of sense.
The OS was 10.3, the hardware was a PowerMac G5 and Apple was still the quirky company with a 2% market share.įive years ago I reviewed my third Mac, the very first Mac mini. Six years ago I tried using a Mac exclusively for 30 days.
