Get a Wallstreet G3. It's the earliest G3 PowerBook that is officially
supported by OS X. IIRC, the 1400 can be hacked to run OS X if it has a G3
upgrade card. But, since you specified that you're a novice [no problem
with that], go for a Wallstreet G3 or blueberry/tangerine iBook. Just make
sure the Wallstreet is not the cacheless model.
And, the Kanga G3 (3500) will not run OS X, despite what anyone tells you.
It's open firmware is too old.
HTH,
