The "?" means that it was unable to find a bootable operating systems on the HD. >I have a lot of RAM PC133 and PC100, the machine came with both. That's fine. The requirement will probably be (depends on the exact model Mac) for PC-100. PC-133 works fine - it's just clocked at 100 speeds. >I will try to find a mouse and keyboard, can I use the USB ones or not? Yes, that's fine. >What is the best OS to use, and more importantly what will make me >happy again? I like Tiger (OS X 10.4) on G3 machines.
