I've got one of those dual 1.42 G4's, with the maximum memory as well. It's
a very nice, fast computer. I was somewhat put off by some reliability
reports on the G5, and they were over my price range as well.
The big issue for you is if you really need a laptop. If you don't, a
desktop will get you
My choice is a Mac MDD G4 800 in a dual 1.42Gz and it is great. I got
it on ebay for only $255 plus shipping. Also bought an Airport Extreme
card for it on ebay. I use a 21.6" LCD Samsung monitor I got from an
online source at a discount. I also have a 15.2" Mac Titanium G4
laptop that is great for
That iMac sounds like a great deal! Hope you enjoy.

Wow. What a day and a posting can teach...your responses were exactly
what I needed. You made me recognize many things, including:
(1) A tower model will often outperform a laptop or an all-in-one

I've used the lampshade iMac G4 a good amount at the office, and I like it.
It fits neatly on a desk- small footprint, no clutter (except for the
external speakers). I would get one, but most don't have usb 2 for faster
loading of pictures from my camera. I don't think that you'll notice too

Thanks, Jonas...it occurs to me that perhaps I don't see post-

As for your model G4, it sounds like a pretty rare bird, I have not

I completely agree with John! My MDD DP 1GHZ is fantastic! I wouldn't go
with a G3 ibook any newer than the clamshell. After that they had bad video
chips and all sorts of stuff that will go wrong. I've had two G3 iBooks go

I'd like help in choosing an older Mac. I entered Macdom six months
