[QUOTE="KSon09, post: 940724, member: 131092"] Was walking down town the other day and see this one guy moving out from some apartments. As I walk by, I see him carry some stuff to a dumpster. Amongst this was a blueberry iMac G3 (slot loading) machine. I of course being curious walked on over and asked him if he was tossing the iMac out. He sure was. He said it worked fine, but his daughter got a new(er) iBook and he didn't need all this junk following him. Well, I took it off his hands, got home after lugging it a kilometer (Hey, it's winter and my bike is in winter storage). Plugged it in (didn't get any mouse or keyboard but hey), and it started right up. Take a look: [IMG]http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg145/SOLIDUS_photos/IMG_0662.jpg[/IMG] It's sitting in my "junk room" where I keep all my "crap". Hehe. Now, onto my question. I have a 10.4 DVD laying around here and the 10.3 that's installed is full of junk. This iMac AFAIK doesn't have a DVD station. Can I hook up my external DVDR to the mac's USB port? Or do I have to do everything via target disk through my old Powerbook? Appreciate the help, plan on making this thing a SomaFM internet radio station. O:) **Edit** Always wanted one of these old iMacs, especially after using one in Hong Kong's Int'l Air Port. It's so 90's! [/QUOTE]
