I don't want to replace it with some other computer like that iMac off
ebay.... I'm wanting to use that 7500 for it's RCA-In slots, where I can
hook up my home video and record my son's videos, then burn to a CD-R, by
tossing the video file off the 7500 over to the B&W G3 on the Network.
Thanks for the specs and info on the drives now I know what to seek for..I
just really want to run OS X on it... Only would need at least like 2 or 3
GBS but I'll be going for 8 since I need the space to record my son's home
videos off the cam recorder... Thanks guys!
Happy New Year!!!
