[QUOTE="Marshmule, post: 197622"] Hi guys, Please accept my apologies if i have posted this into wrong section, I have recently been lucky enough to get my hands on an as new mac g3, it has been switched on 2 times and since sat in a box in an attic, its like new! Anyway, i would really like to start using macs and i am considering buying my self a new mac mini, but before i make a decision im going to use the G3 for a month or two and decide. First off how hard is the transition from windows to OSX? I have a large ammount of mp3's and mpegs on my external pc harddrive, how do i use this on my g3, where can i get the required drivers? If i do get a new mac and wish to upgrade the hard drive how easy is this process? Is it the same as with a pc? I.e. will i have any problems with compatitbility? What would be the latest osx i could put on the G3? It currently runs 9.1 but that looks very dated. Will i have any problems connecting to my current network? Its wireless but i can plug a cable in if i require. Buying external devices such as dvd writer, hard drives etc would i have any compatibility issues, i know these may seem like simple questions but i have never really used a mac in my life, Any help is very much appreciated! marshmule [/QUOTE]
