[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 29394, member: 2960"] Well since you are not planning on playing games, I see no reason why you shouldn't get the iMac. A 500Mhz G3 is still capable of running current Mac software. True, it will run slower than a newer model, and multitasking apps will be sluggish, it will definitely be a fun machine to have. You won't be able to use your PS2 keyboard, but any USB keyboard and mouse will work just fine. If you do use a USB Windows based keyboard, the only thing you need to know is that the Windows logo keys become your 'Apple' (command) keys, other than that it functions the same. If you use a USB Windows mouse the right click becomes the same as "command-click" witha one button Mac mouse. I think the G3 would be a fine second computer and a good way to wet your feet with the Macintosh. You will probably find yourself wondering why you ever used a PC.:D Good luck with the new Mac!
