Re: OS X On Beige G3 (was "Downsides Of...")

[David M. Ensteness]

Don't worry about sounding mad, you just wanted an answer to your 
question. I would say it could go either way. But if you have the 
opportunity to get a Blue and White instead, go that route and you will 
be happier than getting your Beige G3 going. I have four Beige G3s in 
my house/office and I am looking for someone who wants to give two of 
them a home so that I can move to a Blue and White. Mine are fairly 
upgraded and run Mac OS X very well, however I want to consolidate down 
to less hardware.

Over all, it sounds like your Beige G3 isn't the best candidate, if you 
can get $150-200 for yours, upgrade.

Hoping that helped a little,

David

    This thread started as a question I had about running OS X on a 
Beige,
and then got into all this.  Let me just ask this again, with a little 
more
detail.  I dont have a lot of money to spend, so the most money I can 
put aside
for a new computer right now is maybe $100 (plus what I can get for my 
old
computer), so that puts me at about $300, which is enough to get a 
Blue G3 and have
it shipped to me.  However, if I want to save my money, I need a Mac 
to run
OS X on.  My only purpose to running OS X is to learn it, because I 
may get a
job where it would be beneficial to know the OS very very well.  Now, 
would a
Beige G3 be a good machine to learn OS X on?  My Beige is only 
accessing 256MB
because of the type of memory Im using.  Because of speed issues, 
should I
just get the Blue G3, which should access all 512MB memory, plus has 
an extra PCI
slot, a fast video PCI slot, and a 100MHz bus?

Sorry if I sound a little angry.  Its just every time I start a post 
someone
else changes it to a slightly different subject and my original 
question gets
maybe 1 response then its ignored for the new post.

Thanks

Chris
