My thoughts exactly. I'm running through a couple days backlog in list digests and was hoping someone had brought this up. I can see you spending $300 or $400 on the old machine. And you could be buying into some driver problems with running new peripherals through adaptors on the old G3. I suspect you'd also want to be using new applications like Photoshop Elements which do best on a newer computer. If you can come up with the extra dollars, a relatively recent iMac would be a much better investment for the future. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
