Hi guys,
Please accept my apologies if i have posted this into wrong section,
I have recently been lucky enough to get my hands on an as new mac g3, it has been switched on 2 times and since sat in a box in an attic, its like new!
Anyway, i would really like to start using macs and i am considering buying my self a new mac mini, but before i make a decision im going to use the G3 for a month or two and decide.
First off how hard is the transition from windows to OSX?
I have a large ammount of mp3's and mpegs on my external pc harddrive, how do i use this on my g3, where can i get the required drivers?
If i do get a new mac and wish to upgrade the hard drive how easy is this process? Is it the same as with a pc? I.e. will i have any problems with compatitbility?
What would be the latest osx i could put on the G3? It currently runs 9.1 but that looks very dated.
Will i have any problems connecting to my current network? Its wireless but i can plug a cable in if i require.
Buying external devices such as dvd writer, hard drives etc would i have any compatibility issues,
i know these may seem like simple questions but i have never really used a mac in my life,
Any help is very much appreciated!
