Thanks to the extreme consideration of one of the list members, I now have a fully functional G3 B&W running OS 9. I was overjoyed to boot up with the CD and have the OS installed. I have only begun to tinker with my machine, and I find myself reminding myself that this is not a PC. Unfortunately, I have been a Windows user for about 6 years and I am in that mindset and that will take some work to change. The only question I have right now is that I bought my Mac used from my college and wonder if I need to register it with Apple.
No, no need to.
If so, are applications available for download for free from Apple?
Some: Quicktime, iTunes, iMovie, but not the apps that shipped with it, save what's on the CD. If you got the system Restore CD with it, then you'll likely have Appleworks and some others. The System cd only installs the system.
Also, when installing the OS, I got an error concerning Airport....it wouldn't install that but allowed me to bypass it. Wil this pose any problem?
Depends on what the error was. Does it have an Airport card in it?
Go up to the Apple menu and select Apple System Profiler; more or less equivalent to System Info under Windows. If you have an airport card installed, it will say so under the networking hardware.
