I'm using a 2000 G3 350 slot loader as my ONLY computer. Not having had a new iMac, I don't notice the speed (or lack of it). I've maxed out the ram and upgraded the hard drive, and the monitor remains great. 10.3.3 is fine. The only thinga I really miss are an affordable internal CDRW and Firewire. -- Bruce ____________________________________________________ B R U C E K. klutch-at-erols.com -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
