Anyone want to sell their mac with macOS 9?

rare in Malaysia. most of the collectors here couldnt get their hands on one of those Pre G4 era.
Other than the iMac G3, the older models werent that popular in the world yet. mainly Apple was a shithole that almost went bankrupt in 90s
Look for it in ebay US

I have no idea about emulators sweat.gif sorry.
If you have any friends in US, perhaps you can ask them to look for Craigslist. ALMOST ALL owners of these laptops want to give it away for nothing in US. They simply dont collect these.

If you want, I can look up one for you for below USD20.

I got a lot of free [package forwarder] credit. so you only have to pay the price+shipping to warehouse.

you should research what kind of system you want first before buying blindly. Some got dot matrix screen which is total shit.

if you want modern and more powerful G3. Get iBook G3
if you do not mind slower processor, get Powerbook G3

Oh dear.. From japan ! U did some hardcore stuff alright !
The delivery process of the item....smthg wic i am very afraid of. I got one of my Powerbooks screwed --> the seller ddnt do a good job.

But still couldnt resist this iBook ! From Kelantan, the quality looked good, price was good, couldnt resist it! smile.gif

Requsted the seller to give it a good packing, which he did. But still Pos Laju did a shitty job ! The box was torn in pieces sad.gif
And the delivery took two days. Luckily the inner packing was good, else i dnt know the condition of the ibook wic would hv been.

Tested, runs good, reformatted ..... One thing i learnt-> couriering fragile stuff is a risk !

However my Cube came from Penang, lucikly my collegue was going there and had him fetch it, else ..... The price ? You wont believe it !!!!! 250RM, for the Cube, the brick and the CRT monitor... That is one good purchase.

Just replace the hdd... When it runs again...itll b worth it !
