[QUOTE="Nightblade, post: 46390"] Hmm, I don't know if you want a G3 running OS X. I mean, this one here's got 384 MB of RAM as well as 500 Mhz, and it can still barely handle four programs open at once or so. You don't want to have to think lowly of OS X, because when used by at least a G4 it can be quite a fast operating system. G3s are built for OS 9, see? They run well on them. Apple probably barely takes G3 users into account in the marketing department, as there many more people nowadays who use G4s instead of G3s, it seems. Apple only works on OS X now, which G3s can barely run. So, my suggestion might be to get an eMac. Assuming you live in the US, you can get one for $800-$1000, which is considerably cheaper than an iBook: [url]http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72604/wo/4m7evUuStIbs26xn808guN9mMm8/0.0.9.1.0.6.21.1.2.1.0.0.0.1.0[/url] And if you go to university, college, or school, then even better! You should be able to get an eMac for about $750-$900.
