[QUOTE="PC guy123, post: 1334626, member: 226315"] Hi, new to mac-forums and mac's in general...always had a windows based PC. Anyway, for some reason I started to search for apple laptops today and picked up a 14" G4 ibook on ebay for under $200. Specs - 80gb HD, 1gb ram, OSX Tiger 10.4.2, all discs, cables, manual + box. Descriptions said minor cosmetic wear. Didn't have much time to research before bidding. Wanted to know if this was a good deal. Buying it for a 12 yr old to surf the net, play games, syn Ipod touch (will Itunes run on Tiger?), watch Netflix, DVD's etc. I've always had Win based PC's and know my way around a computer. Figured a mac would be a good starter computer. From what the description listed, the OS is a clean install and not a lot of added software included, just what originally came with the laptop. Would I need to buy any additional software to get started. Any advice or suggestions would be great! Will any PC based software or games run on this?? Thanks, [/QUOTE]
