   I ended up with a iMac G3 (the all-in-one egg-shaped design) when the previous   
   owner had a "forgot the password" issue, around 2010 (I think).   
      
   With some help from a fellow fidonet echo friend, I managed to get one of the   
   earlier OSX OSes on it.   
      
   I imagined putting it on display at my shop and allow people to browse   
   inventory or a local webserver.  But the CRT display technology is a power hog   
   and would contribute extra cost to run.  The darn thing is pretty heavy too.   
      
   The ethernet port seems to be defective. But usb/wi-fi dongle could work.   
      
   Sadly, it will need to make a visit to the landfill museum.
