Amazon.com Product Description
Affordable and versatile, the iMac desktop is a great choice for those seeking an entry-level Mac that performs most everyday tasks admirably. Included is a 400 MHz PowerPC G3 processor, 64 MB of RAM (expandable to 1,024 MB), and a 10 GB hard disk. Its 24x CD-ROM drive helps out in the multimedia department, as does the ATI Rage 128 Pro graphics card.

Good Workhorse Mac.......2004-11-10
I had this machine for 5 years (except mine had a graphite-colored shell) and it worked great for what I used it for: surfing the web, writing papers, playing Myst 3.
Good points: While OS X gets all the attention, OS 8.6 and 9.1 are extremely reliable, and you can still get a lot of software for them (including photo- and video-editing software.) This machine didn't crash hardly ever and I used it a lot. It's got a REALLY small footprint for a desktop -- at one point I was living in one room, and the iMac perched happily on my bedside table, keyboard stored on top of the monitor. The 10 GB hard drive will be more than enough unless you're determined to store 18 alternate versions of "Citizen Kane" or something.
Bad points: There's no writable media drive of any kind -- if your printer breaks down and you need to take your paper to Kinko's, you'll have to find someone with a portable Zip drive. Or you could be sensible and buy one of your own, but that's an added expense. There are only 2 USB ports on the iMac, and you have to use one of them for your keyboard, which is a minus for some people. Because your keyboard itself has 2 USB ports, you can plug your mouse and printer into your keyboard, and then plug your keyboard into your iMac, and still leave one USB port open for your zip/floppy/CD-R drive. Plus there's 2 firewire ports and an ethernet port, so you'll be fine. Stop whining.
I'd give this 5 stars, but I have to pass on this piece of bad news: my iMac's motherboard busted after 5 years of service. It's WAY too expensive to replace (a new motherboard costs more than the machine's worth) so I'm selling my poor old computer for parts. My tech guy said that this has been a PERSISTENT PROBLEM with the G3 iMac's he's seen -- so please be wary when you're buying one used.
(A note for people not familiar with Macs: that C-major chord you hear when you turn one on is a system test. If you hear one or more tones instead of a chord, or nothing at all, something is very wrong. I didn't pay attention, and that's why I had to pay someone $50 to extract my hard drive and backup my data. Don't be dumb like me!)
Difficult to Use If You're Used to a Windows Machine.......2003-11-16
I used this computer for a high school graphics arts class. Most of the computers my school had were Gateways with Windows on them, with the expection of one student lab and the graphics arts department.
I had a custom built Windows mutt at home and found using an Apple to be a bit of a challenge because the shortcut codes I was used to using didn't work.
However, after about a week, I was proficient in both. Even though I use primarily an HP Pavilion at home, I can use the Apple computers we have at our college newspaper office pretty well, with only having to ask for help occasionally.

Customer Reviews:
Cute little machine but looks are deceiving..........2006-12-29
I just got one very similar to this unit from ebay (Imac Indigo 350mhz/128MB ram, 6GB hard drive) surfing the web is very slow and time consuming and not compatible with a lot of PC software and webcameras. I will end up selling this as now its just gonna collect dust.) HIGHLY recommend upgrading memory that comes with it. All it is good for is jukebox as this point. Unable to update the OS (refuses to update to even version 10.1.1) unit is VERY heavy (over 35 pounds) and takes up alot of room on your desk. Only 2 USB ports (have to buy a hub if you want to hook anything else up to it. This machine will cost more to upgrade than a PC.. (parts are very $$$$) Good machine for kids, but not recommended for people that use the internet alot - next mac will be a G4. this machine is just downright SLOW. VERY noisy and slow hard drive.
Cute, but may be difficult to see........2004-11-08
A friend gave me his older Blueberry iMac G3 350MHz sans FireWire (DV, IEEE 1394). I decided to update the machine. Installed MacOS 10.2 with several revisions, and increased the RAM from 64MB to 320MB SDRAM (quite cheap upgrade).
It's not a bad machine if it had a VGA output, but the monitor portion is known to be less reliable every time you use it. So I decided to get rid of it this past summer, before going to college. The machine had so much potential, but design caused this particular model to fall from grace.
The machine is so cute and compact, plus it had decent sound quality, but it was lacking at the bass end, causing distortion (not intended for bass audio anyway). The hard disk was crammed so far into the machine, especially the 12v power connector - quickly became a headache.
Sadly, many school systems in our state invest in such a machine. But it was better than the Howard (custom) machines and late 90's Compaq desktops. These days it's the first generation LCD iMac that's in classrooms.But for prospective second hand buyers, go for the first generation iMac, they're built like tanks! (well at least being more reliable).

A Great CPU-Screw Clock-Speed!.......2002-05-16
Most people probably look at this computer and scoff, "Oh, 500-MHz! That is so cute. But it's not of any use." They're wrong VERRRRRY wrong.
I have been a Mac user since I was 5. We got a Performa 550. 33 MHz, 180 MB hard drive. Pathetic? Yes. Slow? Yes. Beige? Yes. Useless? Absolutely not. Even with all of the constraints, the trusty Performa pulled through-it did essays, stories, reports, made pictures, printed KidPix stuff, and even made smoke (that last one was an accident...) The moral of the stroy is that someone who wants a good computer needn't look too far. 1 GHz--wow, but do you REALLY need it? Think about that
Ahem, back on subject. The 500-Mhz iMac is sort of the same as the Performa (but it's not beige-yippee!) It may not have incredibly fast clock speed, the latest hard drive, or the biggest screen, but for entry-level, and even maybe mild business, the iMac come through. It works hard, supports a GB of RAM, and can store movies, AND Mp3 tunes, AND documents, AND games, AND applications of all sorts and run fine. Only under very severe stress does the iMac up and quit. I've had mine for a year and a half now, and it has never, EVER failed me. It has always pulled through, and deserves that sacred spot next to the ol' Performa. Not to mention it looks cool. If you want a Mac, the iMac is a viable solution.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent SLR for starters.......2004-06-15
I have owned this camera for the last 3 yrs. Not a single complaint so far. Most of the time I have used the auto settings even though it has a manual option. Excellent focus even in low light conditions and the focus lock is pretty fast. Yet to have a bad shot except for those occasional out of focus pictures which were mostly because of my fault.
Operation is pretty simple and does not have much frills to worry about. Excellent value for the price
Excellent Camera.......2004-06-09
This is a wonderful Camera that I have had for 4 years now. I have extremely enjoyed the quality pictures, and fun options that this camera has.
I took several photography courses and this camera was leaps and bounds above what I needed.
I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking into starting up or continuing photography as a hobby.
Pentax has a product to be proud of!!..........2002-02-23
I am 14 years old and new to the photographic world. After doing months of research on what I wanted to be my first camera I decided on the Pentax ZX-30 Quartz Date. It was probably one of the best choices I have made. As a beginner I was looking for a camera that was simple to operate, but one that would give me quality pictures and versatility for me to be creative. This camera was my answer. My first roll of film was beautiful. My mother has a home daycare so I immediately started taking pictures of the kids. When I got my first roll of film back I was amazed at the quality of the pictures. They were wonderful. This camera gives you a variety of settings yet it is simple enough that you can have fun without having to deal with confusing dials and knobs. This is the choice for a beginner who wants to take photography seriously. Buy and enjoy!!
Best Camera for it's price out there!.......2002-01-29
I had decide that it was time in my life to buy a nicer camera than a point-and-shoot camera. I looked around on the internet and went to local stores that sold good quality cameras. I looked at cameras made by Nikon, Cannon, Minolta, Pentax, and Sigma, because i had heard that they were the top brands.
After several days of looking and comparing options and prices I settled on the pentax camera. I chose it because
1. it was reasonably priced
2. How user friendly it was and
3. Because it had extensive options.
Basically everything I wanted out of a camera.
I suggest to you to do the same thing i did. Just look around everywhere and compare all of the options and special features of the cameras. I also recamend that if you do buy an slr camera you should get a polorizing lens cover or even just a plain lens cover, because it is exremely easy to scratch the lens.
better than my pz -70.......2001-09-29
I got this camera for a 2nd autofocus camera. I like it better than my pz-70. By the way Pentax makes the best slrs. I also have 2 Pentax manuel cameras a mx and a mg. I love them too. Its light solid and small for a slr the zx-30 is great!
