Someone trashed this Bondi Blue iMac G3... can I fix it?
I found a Bondi Blue iMac G3 lying in the street! In today's Mac-tastic episode of Veronica Explains, I try and get this trashed roadside iMac G3 from 1998 working again. I'll go through all of the steps I took, and we'll see if we can get this classic 90s computer working again. Huge shout-out to Bryce (@MidnightNotion) for helping me find this beast! Also, credit is owed to @ActionRetro and @MacintoshLibrarian for having awesome 90s-friendly websites. And special thanks to Javier Rivera @ARCJavMaster, designer of the #MARCHintosh logo! Oh, and if you want to help support the channel, please check out / veronicaexplains . I'm not sponsored, so every bit does help. Thank you!
