I have an early G3 iMac, Bondi or Blueberry, I'm not sure... slot-loading 4Gb HD 256Mb RAM 350MHz Had OS 9.1 if I remember correctly (got it secondhand about 5-6 years ago) which I upped to 9.2.2 at first, and then 2 years ago loaded Panther (OSX 10.3.9). Also have the same-era G3 Clamshell laptop (so-called 'toilet seat' haha) with roughly same specs... replaced those with G4 and G5 machines over the last 2 years, but still have the G3s Ikea'd in plain view, I swap them on and off my 4-mac lan (which includes my trusty Power Mac 8600 MacOS 8.6) occasionally. All secondhand.... don't need brand new, never did.
That info is confused. 4Gb HD implies a tray loader (unless someone downgraded the drive. But 350 MHz implies slot loader.
Last year I got a tangerine clamshell. I always liked the look of that model. It was very different in a industry of sameness.
You can always get a 8 port switch, cheap, so you can have all the computers on the net at once. I've got a 16 port gigabit switch, 24 port 10/100 switch, 16 port 10MBps hub and assorted other little ones hooking everything up. And three wireless APs for the laptops and such.
