Recently, a PC friend said to me, "Hey, someone gave me this Macintosh Computer. Do you want it?? Not waiting for an answer, he loaded it into the back of my Jeep and carried on as if the conversation hadn't even occured.

I'm using an i-Book 1.2gH/OS X 10.3.9 so I don't need it, but I was wondering if there is any practical use for it, like a server for my own web site, or some sort of dedicated i-Tunes juke box. I mean... is it powerful enough to be able to run OS X? Do I need to?

Any creative ideas would be welcome. I hate to throw it away, even though it's verrry old.

Thanks in advance,

Den Gleason/Indianapolis
