Title: G'day folks :))
Post by: Ashlander on April 16, 2024, 08:54:59 AM

Hey everyone! I'm a 26 year old Aussie musician who's been using Macs personally for I think around 14 years now with my first being a hand-me-down 2009 Core 2 Duo iMac from my dad (who's been an Apple head since before I was born.) It was slow as all hell, but I adored it. When I was a wee lad in 1999, one the first computers I ever used was my dad's Tangerine iMac and have loved that colour ever since.

I love all kinds of art whether it's music, games, movies, oil on canvas, etc. It's a subject I always love discussing especially with its role in politics and influence on culture. Ofc, I also like to have fun with it first and foremost.  ;D

My dream right now is to find a Tangerine iMac G3 to use OS 9 on and see if I can live a peaceful life with it writing music.

Welcome to the forum Ashlander!  :)

I can relate - I also very much love the tangerine iMac G3 and its looks, always wanted one, couldn't afford it when it was new and never found one afterwards. :-)

So good luck with your dream :-)

Welcome! I'm a big iMac lover too, if only you were New Zealand based because I have a few parts iMacs collecting dust!
Good luck finding one  :)
