That said, a Wallstreet can be a worthwhile OS X machine for some purposes (mainly office applications like e-mail, web browsing, word processing, and so forth).
I have a Wallstreet that alreaday had a 466 MHz upgrade card, 384 MB RAM (when I've got all my chips in) and a 20 GB HD - I haven't tried X yet, but am contemplating putting it on and using the machine in the kitchen for recipes and radio/audio books. I'll be much happier having that in my kitchen than putting my 17" so near so many accidents waiting to happen! (Spills, floury fingers, etc.)
I'm going to X instead of 9 because I've been putting recipes into Yum! on my PB 17" and that only runs in X. Plus with X sleep might actually work so I won't have to restart each time I want to check a recipe.
The one think I want to add is a wireless card (for the internet radio & allrecipes.com/epicurious.com), which I haven't done yet. I understand going to X complicates this, but I've only done casual reading, not serious research, so far.
I'll report back how I do, when I get around to actually doing this. (Right now I'm redoing my house so there's no room on the kitchen counter for even a laptop.) If anyone has any comments on this use, let me know!
