I used them for years in school and everyone hated them. Not sure if it was the software or hardware. Same issue with my friends pre-iMac Mac. We could barely get through a game without beach ball spinning forever or crashing.
- yankput 3y agoYeah the original article is a bit of rose tinted glasses. The iMacs were pretty and started a lot of HW innovation but the actual experience of using them was not great. OS 8/OS 9 were still bad operating systems, and the first few releases of OS X were not very stable either.
- celsoazevedo 3y agoSimilar experience at my school. Almost every computer was a PC, but we had a room with 10-15 blue G3 and sometimes we had to use them to "research" for school projects. I didn't hated them, but we avoided them because they were noticeably slower than the PCs we had. I also remember the mouse being a bit weird. They looked nice, but didn't work as well for us as the boring beige towers.
