I'd like to say, from personal experience that: OS X 10.2x Runs Just Fine On A Bondi Blue iMac 233 (rev a/b). I've used it everyday, all day, for the past year or so. Using Photoshop, eLister, email, Safari, iTunes, iView mostly.
Consider making the following Upgrades: Up the memory to 256mb (or more) Up the Hard Drive to 20gb (or more) I would Also: In the *Displays Control Panel* set *Colors* to Thousands, *Resolutions * to 600 x 800. You must partition the hard drive and install OS X on the first 8gb. It seems the Graphic Chips are not supported in OS X so all display information is routed through the CPU. In real world experience, for me, this is only a problem with Video Clips (RealMedia, most Quicktime, etc.). But you can watch them. Photoshop 7 runs well enough if not the same as under OS 9. And to see a video clip in more detail you could open it in Classic. For a great looking, compact, inexpensive, OS X machine definitely consider an early iMac.
