Hey guys, I usually stick around the xbox 360 forums but I have been offered an older Mac. They want $30 for it, I believe they said they have had it for a few years, couldn't tell me much more about it. Is it worth it?
Here is a pic of the computer
Or would it be better to buy a G3 Tower (blue and white) for $60. Again, no specifics on it, such as processors and everything. I just want a Mac to play around on, as I have been a "PC" user for my entire life.
I am also starting school for programming and have heard Macs are notoriously better for any schooling purposes. I know I can do most of my school work on my HP, but want the Mac to play around with too.
neither.. they are worthless.. if they were free then they might be worth saving from the bin.. but never pay for junk like this, because they are unusable and almost impossible to do anything with... proprietary hardware.. you might find some linux which possibly may just about run on them.. but not reliably...
Any I get go straight in the recycling.. and that says it all.. I still have a couple of working 486 era desktops.
By a "pc" user I guess you mean microcraps idea of an operating system.. try any old tower with more than 128 ram in it and look at freebsd or if you can drum up a whole gig of ram.. open-solaris 10
plenty of free unix operating systems around.. openbsd is broken tho XD
