thanks, I appreciate your input. I am quite ignorant of the Mac world where
voiceover is concerned. this is why I ask. I've already learned the hard
way.

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.
JMO.

Someone on freecycle is giving away the following:

Operating system on both:
First Computer is a Power Macintosh G4/400 with 2 Gigabytes Ram, 40
Gigabytes boot drive, 30 Gigabytes files drive, Firewire 800PCI card, and
gigabit ethernet PCI card.
Second Computer is a Power Macintosh G4/Dual 500 with 1.75 Gigabytes of

Is this worth going after?
