Re: worth of used imac
Shop in other states: When shopping for Apple products, consider shopping from out of state merchants. Do so and you can dodge paying the sales tax for the state you reside in, saving upwards of 9% off your purchase. Powermax.com in Oregon, Smalldog.com in Vermont, LAComputercompany.com. c-k Warnings (from a tax professional) on sales taxes--that I believe to be consistent across the country: -- if the out-of-your-state retailer has ANY physical presence in your state, even just a warehouse, they are required to collect and remit sales tax to your state (e.g., if Apple has a store in your state, you will be charged sales tax on new or refurbs ordered from Apple online); -- every state that has a sales tax also has a use tax which is usually the same percentage and applies to purchases made outside the state. Collection varies, but in NC taxpayers are expected to self- report on their annual state income tax return. Do many online buyers still skip paying the tax? Of course, but the states have been working toward federal legislation that would require ALL retailers to collect and remit sales tax based on the buyer's state of residence. States are losing huge amounts of tax, and bricks- and-mortar stores are losing business to online retailers, they feel unfairly, due at least partly to the sales tax disparity. Expect this pressure to rapidly increase with the growing deficits in state budgets! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

Re: USB 1.1 Ports Upgrade?
I have to correct myself. Upon further review and looking at both my bondi and blueberry, I have discovered that the housing of the ports on the motherboard are is not connected to the case. Therefore; a mother-board in a bondi can be exchanged whith at least a blueberry and I think any G3 of that type. They look interchangible.

Yeah Kyle is right Anything is possible with a router, glue gun, and a solder kit. I guess one could upgrade it to LCD at the same time. but seriously...LOL Even if there was a USB2.0 card(there isnt, of course), you can buy a newer iMac for the price of upgrading the old one.

OOps actually, you may be able to put the mother-board from the bondi in the the blueberry but not the other way around.
