Hi, I mean, its free, and you can't really knock free but, you won't be able to run the latest operating system on there, and you will be using the first version of Voiceover which was pretty bare bones. I believe those are Power PC Macs, not Intel's so, you would only be able to upgrade to Leopard OSX 10.5 if I'm not mistaken. Honestly, as a voiceover user, I wouldn't bother. The experience with voiceover is really nothing like what you would have now running Lion 10.7. And with that antiquated hardware, I'm not sure how productive you could even be. I think it would just cheapen the Mac experience if you've never used a Mac before. Better off find a refurbished 2010 or 2011 Mac mini.
