Not very.
Couldn't find the owner, kept it.
It was full of shitty J-Pop and Soulja Boy, so nothing of any importance was lost.

The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.Ew. I'd have left it on the ground. No amount of formatting would've cleaned the Soulja Boy from it.
That reminds me, I was gonna do a Steampunk remix of Crank Dat...
Hey, 8 gigs, and it was free.
And I have cleansed it with Venetian Snares
Not a trace of Soulja boy could withstand it.

The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.The question is, which iMac? There was a time in the 2000s when it seemed like Apple was going to join the rest of the world, if on a slightly quirkier level. You could actually, finally, and officially run O Ses other than Mac OS 8.5/9.x on a Mac! They used standard parts! They were getting a halfway-decent OS!
Then the x86 switch happened, and the iPhone came out, and Apple was like "Oh, sorry about that; we were never really serious about being open. We're going to go back to how we were in 1988, lock everything down, kill our server line and basically make the iPhone the future instead of the Mac. Enjoy running Linux or WS 2008 on an HP if you want a decent server. :P" I still haven't forgiven them for that.

online since 1993 | huge retrocomputing and TV nerd | lee4hmz.info (under construction) | heapershangout.comAs far as weird electronic things I've got goes:
- A sound effect box
- An air guitar (it's this plastic guitar neck that emits a laser that you "strum" to play different chords)
- A battery operated children's keyboard (mostly notable for engrish - there's a plug labeled "Powersockey", and the on / off switch says "off" and "no" instead)
- A battery operated mini-Sega Genesis that plugs into the TV and plays Sonic 3, one of the Ecco The Dolphin games, and a few others. Currently gathering dust because I was mainly using it for Sonic 3 and I now have Sonic Mega Collection anyway.

Functional? Odd. How beaten was it?
