So we have a left over iMac from the consolidation of three companies (Solium, Bitonic, and Stormworks). So, in an effort to make Princess more efficient and improve my horizons (and impress Pooga) I think we are gonna buy the iMac. It's got OS 9.1 and only 128 MB of RAM but it's got heart (and it has all the apps Princess needs)… what do you think, Pooga?

Don't worry… I still have my laptop which runs Linux. This will be mostly for Princess.

Which version of the iMac? G3 or G4?

And if it's better than 350 MHz, upgrade to Jaguar (OS 10.2), but it will need more RAM. You'll like 10.2, since it's UNIX based. At the very least go to 9.2.2.

And you'll get to see what the site looks like on a Mac!

Umm, to be honest I'm not sure how to tell, but I suspect it's a G3 333MHz. It's running OS 9.1. I've seen OS X; it's pretty cool. But I'd rather not upgrade it if it means it'll be slower; it's pretty fast running MS Office apps as it is right now.

And since it'll be at home, I'll be able to see the development version on a Mac. :)

Dr, you should get that one that is just an LCD diplay. No CPU or whatnot. I think it is 3000 or something. 900Mhz or so. I liked it, and it had OS 10. It was real cool.
