I used to joke about these iMacs having a handle on top so you could throw it all the way to the back of the dumpster when you couldn’t upgrade it and threw it away.

I wish I had kept my blueberry iMac used only for testing websites in the days when you needed to validate sites on every hardware platform and browser version. Might have made a cool fish tank or terrarium.
I actually upgraded my first-generation iMac a couple of times before I let it go, but yeah the form factor didn’t exactly make it one of the easiest computers to tinker with.

But can I buy it as an NFT?
