I am curious what company that was, and what chip upgrades are available for
older Bondi Blue iMacs.

<< This thread reminds me of the booth at Macworld last
summer where the guy was running Panther on a Wall Street,
Pizmo, an original blue iMac, and several other "legacy"
Macs to demonstrate the firm's chip upgrades.
The guy spent quite a while talking to us, I took
pictures for MUG, and he was quite proud to show
benchmarks on specific operations that actually
ran noticably faster on the Pizmo and G3s than it
did on the newer G5 machines.
It was very impressive.
But he exlplained:
Apple had condemed the display during Job's pre-show
walk-through, ordering him to cease showing Panther on
the older machines -- NOT because he was showing Panther
prior to release date -- but because Apple didn't want
to suggest you could run it on pre-G4 Macs. Which, to
me doesn't ring true to Apple's philosophy.
(Which seems to have changed dramatically
over the past two years.)
Sometimes you just can't keep a good thing secret.
Got it? Flaunt it?
LOL
