It is a g3 dark clear blue. I reformatted the gigantic 10 gig hard drive and reinstalled "operating system 10". lol

What should I do with this treasure?

Should I donate it to a school?

Get creative folks. Should I torch it, or should I hit it with a bat, or maybe just some random gunfire at it, or maybe drag it behind a moving vehicle?

Decisions, decisions.

My mom gave it to me for putting her new computer together.

I took it to a this place called bookman's. They buy used books and video games and shit, usually pc stuff, I got there and they said they arent doing it anymore becuase they were getting scammed. People would bring in computers that had hardware swapped out.

I just wanted like 15 or 20 bucks for it. lol

Now I am stuck with this fucking thing. If I had a bigger HD I might .... no it's still too slow.
