    Hi I have just reserved an Apple iMac mini year 1995 with keyboard mouse etc for €100 with Darwin on it . I just want it for Internet usage. Can anyone tell me if I'm wasting my money ? Thanks

    There's no such thing as an iMac Mini from 1995.

    And Darwin? As is PureDarwin? Are you familiar Unix?

    Given your description I'd certainly roll back on that deal. The iMac didn't even exist in 1995. Darwin was the open source version of the OS. It all sounds very fishy. In any case, the machine is 20 years old. You'd buy a much more up to date system on a stick like Chromecast for a third of the price which would let you do web browsing. Not worth it at all.
