[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 88264, member: 273"] What sort of budget are you working within? I use a 300 MHz G3 on a daily basis for web surfing, email, and other occasional uses. It's perfectly adequate for all of my needs, so a 500+ MHz iMac will work fine for what you're describing (though it clearly won't be blazingly fast). The two main things I would suggest when searching for one would be to make sure the machine has at least 512 MB of RAM (if not, upgrading isn't very expensive or difficult), and to try to find a machine that includes OS X 10.3 (Panther).
