Year 2002: Apple decides that it is time to renew the computer that brought it back to fame so many years laterSo it's time to launch a new iMac with which to surprise all the maqueros and go to a different and higher level.

Currently I have it at my parents' house, although a bit expanded: p DD 80 GB of 7200 rpm and 8 mb cache, 768 mb ram and 16x dvd dvd. Mac OS X 10.4.11
You can watch all kinds of videos and movies thanks to Perian, I have it connected to a Yoigo hsdpa modem so that it has Internet, I never put the AirPort or BlueTooth as standard.
It is a good team that will always be with me, the day your screen can't take any more, or I fix it or I will directly remove the arm and the screen, to leave it connected to the TV in the living room through the video adapter (which is currently the one that It is used to see, hear the movies, photos, videos ...
