[QUOTE="bangarang, post: 1427038, member: 263109"] Hello all, new to the forum, not new to forums or Macs. (I once had a Macintosh 6300 with OS 7!) I've been Windows dominant since 2006 because most of my school software only ran on Windows. My last Mac was a G4 tower back in the day, and since I'm a Journalism major, I use the newer Macs all the time. I have a opportunity to get a free iBook G3 (A1007) from a friend, I was wondering if it would be worth turning into a quasi-netbook? I use a Widows tower for all my paper writing and web page updating, and a Ubuntu laptop for my newbook-type usage (Facebook, Youtube and general web browsing while I'm down stairs watching TV) I would only use it for Facebooking, checking my bank accounts and watching Youtube from time to time. It would be nice to sync up my iPhone 4 to it to modify photos using iPhoto and the like, but thats about it. I really only need/want iTunes to sync my phone and Google Chrome to web browse. It was no OS at the time. What OS 10.3 or 10.4 would be best for my needs? What minor upgrades would be nice to have? More RAM? Any other advice? Thanks for any input!! [/QUOTE]
