Ive lent the machine to anna, so I dont get to use it much, but it would be fun to try out osx on that machine, i would be much more likely to get a wifi usb-stick to work with it. Sadly, her neighbor with the open wifi net moved out a few months ago :( I use osx on moms mac, and i like it a lot better than 9, I may have to call her and see if I can borrow it back for a little while and get things working on it better.
