[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 32218, member: 273"] 1) While it's difficult to compare MHz between PCs and Macs, you should still be aware that a 400 MHz Mac (especially a less expensive G3) is not going to be one of the faster Macs out there, especially since you mentioned a comparison to a 2.4 GHz PC. If you plan on running Photoshop on it, you should probably pick something a bit more powerful. After all, it would be a shame for you to be disappointed with your first Mac just because the one you purchased wasn't able to handle the tasks that you needed it to. It might almost be like someone buying an old Pentium 1 and being upset that it's "slow". Then they'd probably give up on PC's for ever, right? :) 2) Yes, as trpnmonkey41 said, it's not difficult. My iBook and my brother's PC are on our wireless network here (I can access his files through mine), and mine was much easier to setup on it. 3) It would be tough to say that OS X [i]never[/i] crashes (since I'm sure someone has had it happen at some point), but mine never has. It's pretty well accepted that OS X is a far more stable operating system than Windows. [/QUOTE]
