The 4800 or 5400 RPM 5-10[minute] seek times on the old drives in those
does not help either! :)
I had several labs of those things when I was managing school districts.
They are great machines. You can call thank apple for driving the cost
of USB, and in some cases wireless, down to affordable levels.

No, you see, the problem isn't that it's an iMac, the problem is that
it's still running MacOS. I've got an old Revision A (the very first

can chug along at almost twice that speed. :)
