My daughter wants a "girly" colored computer. I was checking out Imacs on
Ebay.
333 MHZ is plenty fast for her needs.
So anything I should know about before buying one? (Desktop-road apple?)
Thanks,
David (:
-------
CPU speed is not the only thing to consider when buying an iMac. The tray
loading units are older than the slot loading units. I have had a 433/512
iMac for about threee years and have had NO problems with the hardware.
Second the motion for the tray loaders (350 and up). 1) it is easier to get
into the cases in the tray loaders. 2) the tray loaders after a certain
point have Firewire (IIRC, there were some 350s that did not have FW, the
400 and up I believe all have FW, check specs at LEM).
Be aware that you are buying a used unit that you cannot test on ebay. Try
the swap list also as these people are more likely to be more informed and
helpful than most ebay sellers. I have been burned with ebay by not getting
what was advertised.
There are some folks on the LEM Swap list selling iMacs aplenty these days.
