[QUOTE="iBeldar, post: 1235580, member: 16751"] My G3 iMac was similar in specs, 233mhz G3 and 192MB RAM. I bought it on craigslist for $20 just to play with it. Good thing thats all I wanted to do with it too. After playing with the classic OS for a bit, I loaded Jaguar onto it and WOW that thing was slow. There weren't really any apps I could use(hard to find apps for older OSX versions) and most webpages loaded pretty slow. Even my 500mhz G3 iBook had trouble with some webpages and apps. If you want something cheap and useful, I would try to find a cheap Powerbook G4. My 533mhz Dual G4 powermac was surprisingly fast. You can even pick up one of the original Macbook models for ~$300-$400 if you look hard enough. I got mine on craigslist for $500 over a year ago. There is an old version of Audacity for OS9 if you want to try it. [url]http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac[/url] [/QUOTE]
