I believe the key is what you use your computer for. If you're a graphic artist or video editor you're probably not going to be happy with a 233 G3...if, like me, you use it primarily for email, surfing, music, text editiing, etc, you might just be as happy as I am.
I'd concur totally with that. I only bought a G4/800 iMac because I do odd bits of heavyweight graphics work in Photoshop and Illustrator. My B&W G3 is absolutely fine for e-mail and surfing and even Office v.X (if I remember to upgrade to Office 10.1.5!). I found MP3 playing, and especially AAC playing (MPEG4) in iTunes did hammer the CPU a bit though - I couldn't reallly play music and use Office.
