I just acquired a iMac. I think its one of the first ones. It has 233mhz. I hooked it up and turned it on. After a few secs it comes up with a gray screen with a a folder flashing in the middle. One side is blank the other has some guy on it. If you can help let me know. Thanks.

that means that the computer can not find any operating system so you will have to go get a copy of the highest OS that that system will support
