There were no Bondi slot loaders anyways; Only the very first G3 iMac (tray
loader) was Bondi. If it's a slot-loader, it's Blueberry. Bondi was darker,
and more green-blue.
I have a Lime slot-loader that was downgraded to a 2Gb hd. So it happens...
I've always wanted to get myself a Tangerine clamshell... But the prices
always seem a tad too high.
I see tons of switches at the thrift store all the time. If anyone's
looking, I'd suggest looking there.
