The main computer in our house is a 350 mhz blue-and-white G3 running Panther with 768 Megs of RAM. It's great - super-stable, and fast enough for usual tasks - internet apps, pictures, iTunes, etc. Most of the storage is on the network anyway, in (very fast) Linux boxes, and I have faster machines (*nix and Windows) that I use for gaming, programming, servers and video editing, but they're suited for their tasks, and the Mac is suited for its purpose.
That, and with VNC, I can do 90% of the stuff I need to from the Mac anyway. - Jim Matthew Small wrote: >Nah, I'm with you. 800 or 1000 MHz is fine for about everybody.
