[QUOTE="Xelor, post: 764988, member: 76262"] Hi, as you may notice I'm new to this fourm. I'm possibaly thinking of getting my first mac. However, instead of buying a computer of this year I plan on buying the iMac G3 Desktop but before hand I have a few questions. 1. What's the compatability of the Mac OS with Windows applications such as Microsoft office? Do I have to install two Operating Systems in order to be able to use Windows apps? (I really hope to just be able to use the Mac OS) 2. What are some good sites for buying a used mac? (Anyone heard of or used [URL="www.adoptamac.com"]adopt a mac[/URL] ) ? 3. Would the iMac G3 be a good computer? (I plan on using it for Photoshop, school work, internet browsing, and less graphic demanding games) Alrighty, and to avoid confusion (If any) the comp's specs will be posted below. [URL="http://www.adoptamac.com/product_info.php?products_id=64"]Apple iMac G3[/URL] -500MHz -384mb ram (Would upgrading to 512mb be worth it?) -Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" -20 GB Hard-Drive -ATI Rage 128 Ultra 16 MB Graphics [/QUOTE]
