My New iMac!

Days back, a good friend came in my shop and asked me what to do with this 16kg piece of machine. When I look at it, WOW! It was one of my dream machine and it is still. iMac 2000 summer model! 

No question ask, quickly stop all my jobs and phone call. Power it up...well, my wife nearly going to use her "rotan" on me  :p

500MHz processor, 578mb SDRam, 30GB Hard Drive, OS9 and front loading DVDRom Drive. Top of the spec at that time I said.

Spending the whole afternoon, beside the front loading ODD having problem with ejecting disc, the rest works fine. Then I found myself had difficulty in using OS9 since OSx. ^_^ so much to learn since Tiger. Anyway, I decided to upgrade it to OSx since it can support up to 10.39

While ejecting disc, it can only reach behind the front panel, so I had to remove the cover to do OS upgrade. And I had some big help from people who share their experiences from the web, especially thanks to r3uk.com with very complete guide how to do this.
