Graphite iMac G3 is perfection.

Yeah. Love that round fucking mouse, and that computer with a space heating, ESD producing CRT crammed into the same chassis. Those things were fucking garbage.

Ok, fine, Graphite iMac G3 is perfection of form over function. That better?

Never actually had one, always wanted one. I did use the hockey puck mouse at school, and agree that it was fucking terrible. Can't really speak to the esd issues from the CRT, didn't use it often/long enough for that to affect me, though I can certainly see how it could have been a problem. Most computers are some level of space heaters, as far as that goes, especially if you've got a decent GPU, so I'm not sure I'd really knock it too much for that unless it was just really super egregious.
