Beautiful. Probably the most elegant Mac I ever owned.

I did feature film visual effects on this G3 tower in my LA apartment back in 1999. My first real work-from-home experience (it only lasted a few months).

@tvaziri I did not have one but a friend / co-worker did. It was amazing especially considering what most PCs looked like.

I did my one and only ‘real’ video editing on it. We filmed English language teaching classes for a company to make training videos. It probably helped to rent proper lighting but I’m still surprised we didn’t screw up the lighting or audio given the absolute lack of experience.

@tvaziri do go on... what software were you running at the time? Any 3D?

Back then, I only had experience with SD resolution. I imagine 2k film res would have been painfully slow.

@ryanbutterworth All 2K, all compositing in After Effects
