There is nothing wrong with these old machines. My 8 yr old daughter uses a black 1996 Directors Edition 5500/180 upgraded to a 5500/250 logicboard( sold only here in Australia and Japan and kinda like the old Mac TV you have there in the States ) with a G3/500 upgrade Sonnet CPU and a Radeon 32mb card and it runs fine with OS9.1 It has Office '98 , Daisy Maths 4, KidsPix deluxe, Me and My Horse and a couple of other programs she uses that I can't recall. She loves it.
