@VeronicaExplains

Addendum comment!

1. Pronunciation of "Bondi Blue" (bond-eye vs bond-ee): this falls under "tomato tomato potato potato"- please call your comments off! Language is fluid and if you understand what I mean, that's probably good enough. I pronounce lots of words "wrong" since I'm USian/Minnesotan/whatever. I've heard Apple staff say either one, so I'm confident my meaning is clear here. Besides, if I said it the other way, you all would tell me in the comments how wrong I am! Can't win! ;)
2. See above about pronunciation of GIF. :P
3. I've added a "donation inquiry" section to my contact form at https://vkc.sh. I probably won't respond in the comments about hardware donations, but you can try the contact form if you have something interesting for this or any other vintage computer I've mentioned on the channel.

@OctavioGaitan

The G3 iMac is my most favorite computer of all time. It pretty much DEFINED my childhood in school. I still have mine. Thanks for sharing this.

@notation254

Love the references to Action Retro and Macintosh Librarian! Those channels are awesome, and so are you!!!

@SonnyCoCo

I love how accessible your videos are. Your explanations are always ever so clear and understandable. Please keep making more awesome videos like this Veronica 🤘

@krazykidmusic4954

I love repair and you did a good job! In the modern era, I love to show people how I’m still rocking a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro I got from a dumpster. Amazing how usable dumpster finds are! Glad you restored this one and didnt let it go to waste!

@BustinCasts

You just took me back to my middle school days Veronica! Thank you. I really enjoyed this video, back to a part of my childhood I hadn't thought about in a very long time and put a huge smile on my face. Hope this machine serves you well into the future. Definitely a cool conversation piece at the very least.

@gopherman96

Woo! Great to see this up and running, with all its screws :) I love these iMacs - my parents bought me a tangerine model as my very first gaming computer way back in the mid 2000s when they were starting to get super cheap. Absolutely loved that thing! Still have it, but it's got a bad flyback, which is a non-trivial part to track down a replacement for, so that's a repair for another day.

@GSBarlev

This is so cool. Even cooler that you did a full restore and not a restomod (aside from the SSD). Happy Marchintosh!

@draygosmith

I remember when I was a kid and these started showing up in my friends' bedrooms. It was a lot of people's first computer that was really theirs -- not the "family's" computer. Good memories!

@bubgerkirg

this kind of content is sooo up my alley! you rock veronica, pls keep making awesome videos :D

@junebug9320

Killer video! I feel like I really missed an opportunity to pick one of these up when every college and high school was dumping these for cheap, so now I'm relegated to getting a fixer-upper, and I'm going to absolutely reference this when I eventually find the imac g3 of my dreams

@dungeonseeker3087

The person on YouTube whom, IMO has the most experience with CRTs is Adrian Black, he honestly has a bit of an obsession with them. I literally seen him stitch a broken CRT board back together, flyback and all, composite mods, he even got hold of a CRT rejuvenator and tested it on a few old CRTs once. He is imo probably the best person to ask about CRTs. Also worth noting, you should NEVER EVER open a CRT unless you know how to do it safely, the flyback is usually putting out between 17Kv to 24Kv, if you touch the wrong thing it means almost certain death. Stay safe 😀

@mcosta3810

Great video! So just last week, one of my best friends and I just got his orange iMac back up and running again.
Great find, and looking forward to your Linux video with this!

@dingokidneys

Love to see your videos and really happy to see you getting that old iMac back up and running.

Keep up the good work. It's always a happier day when there's a new Veronica Explains video.

@timhaines3877

Seeing that puck mouse brought back high school memories of sitting in the library "surfing the web" and the carpal tunnel that came from using the wretched things!

@AndersInnovation

omg. i have that same guitar, that same bop it, and just picked up a broken imac g3 trying to restore and found your video. did we just become best friends! thank you for posting this, it is going to be really helpful!

@certs743

Great find.  My first computer was an Apple IIGS and years later my first iMac was a well loved iMac G4.  Loved that machine.  Later I owned the Quicksilver and Mirror Drive Doors PowerMacs which were just beautiful.

@LonSeidman

Great find! I have two of these in my basement - one I think has a G4 upgrade. Maybe it's time to dust them off!

@Kehvarl

Since you did mention image format pronunciation and obligate me to comment, I guess I must do so:  I love your channel and am happy to have found it, thanks for the videos!

@radiicall

You are really fun to watch Veronica, these videos have a certain charm
