[quote ssledoux]Do you have a buyer? How obsolete is this machine for running things like iTunes, using the OSX Tiger, etc.? Can you run airport in it? I'm just wondering because I am in the market for some Macs for my kids and am trying to determine if going back this far would make any sense. We have only been in the Mac biz for about 7 months now so I'm not really up-to-snuff on which machines are worth having.
Thanks!
You can read my post above. I think that my 700 mhz G3 iBook is running great with a clean install of Tiger. I sold it to my sister-in-law, so I still get to play with it.
The iBook plays kids games like Reader Rabbit and Dragon Tales for my 3 year old without hesitation. I'd get them an older G4 iMac, put 1 GB of RAM in it ($100) and install Tiger ($129) on it.
