Hi guys, I was gifted a free iMac (Intel core 2 duo) from a retired nasa engineer in his 90s (he even worked on the atom bomb!) and I was wondering if it is worth anything or if I should keep it and try to put Linux on it.
He forgot the password and I had to do some things in the terminal to get around it. So far, everything looks to be in working order. I have never owned a Mac or Apple products in general so I am kinda out of my element here lol
Awesome, I just picked this up!
Always loved this era of macs but couldn’t afford back then.
I found the keyboard for this at a thrift store for like $7 and grabbed it like I was Gollum getting the ring back. I don’t care if the USB ports are too old to run some things, it’s peak design.
Let’s gooo!! That’s actually the same reason for me too, as a kid I’ve always wanted one of these. Now I get to live those memories!
