Apple to Apple

I finally purchased a new computer at home and I thought it might be interesting for a few folks to do an "Apple to Apple" comparison.

First, the picture. Can you pick out which one is the old computer?

Now, the specs.

G3 All In One: Purchased in late spring of 1998 (last all-in-one before the original iMac)
233 Mhz G3 processor (PowerPC 750), 66 MHz system bus, 32 MB PC66 SDRAM, 2 MB vram, 512k backside cache, 4 GB hard drive, 24x CD Rom drive. 13.8 inch screen, 1.44 MB floppy drive, 10Base-T Ethernet, ADB Mouse and Keyboard, OS 8.0, 60 lbs

Upgraded in Summer of 2001: 500 MHz G4 PPC chip, 448 MB RAM, 60 GB hard drive, 6 MB vram, 3 USB 1.0 ports via PCI slot, 2 Firewire 400 ports via PCI slot, OS 9.1

iMac: Purchased May 2008
Dual 2.8 GHz processor (Intel Core 2 Duo), 1066 MHz front side bus, 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, 256 MB RAM on video card, 6 MB shared L2 cache, 500 GB Serial ATA 7200 rpm hard drive, Slot loading 8x SuperDrive (DVD-RW/CD-RW), 24 inch wide screen, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 mouse and keyboard, 5 USB 2.0 ports, one Firewire 400 port, one Firewire 800 port, 802.11 a/b/g/n-draft wireless, Bluetooth 2.1, built-in iSight camera, OS X v10.5, 25 lbs.

Yes, the old one still works, although there are times when I've had to hard reboot it three or four times in a row to get it to startup all the way. And I've been bringing a laptop (from grant money) home from school for the last year and a half or so as some things I just couldn't do in OS 9 anymore. But I think that's still pretty good - roughly 10 years of usable life with a little upgrade along the way. I doubt I'll make it 10 years with this new computer, but I'm trying to picture what the specs might look like in the spring of 2018 . . .
