my very first "macintosh"...

!
i have had a macbook for like 8 months and am in love with it, but it was my first mac, with os x 10.4. i was hanging out in my local computer store (pretty much 99% pc store) when i noticed a ppc on the ground, i offered him 25$ for it right there and he said sure i am picking it up tomorrow and didn't actually ask about the specs, but i am really excited for my pre-os x experience.

plus it comes with an apple laser printer [nice.]

you know what kind of 'puter it is at all?

not till tomorrow, but the fact that it is a mac, is good enough for me

Do let us know the model and specs and which OS it comes with. I love finding old macs like that.

hey, i got it and got most of it set up (took 5 trips to bring everything in!). it came with os 8.6 and is a power macintosh 7200/120. but i looked and looked and can't seem to find where is shows the specs. under "about this computer" it only shows the HD specs. any help?

Click to expand...

Click on the Apple and look for System Profiler I believe it's called.

120 MHz PPC
56MB RAM
1 GB Start Up HD
2 GB Secondary HD

I'm going to try a fresh install of the OS.

Man is this thing great.

ki, here's some info from the original introduction of the model at EveryMac and Low End Mac.

neato, thanks.
