Not sure how much that helps, but I think that's about all your
options...
Have you thought about upgrading the RAM, and running 10.4? I've found
that it even runs ok for email, etc. even on the 233MHz Bondi iMacs.

I've never heard of that... I'm not sure...
But 10.4 should run OK on 350Mhz. A little jittery, but usable. I've
run it on a 333MHz Lombard with 512Mb RAM; It runs decently. I guess
it all depends on how patient you are...

Office '04. That should run on 10.3, and it's better then Office X,
and not as bloated as '08 (plus I don't think that'll run on 10.3) We
ran '04 for ever.

yup; 384mb is the max RAM limit for the Bondi iMacs. I wonder if they
have any Ubuntu's old enough that it would work on a 233Mhz iMac?
There's always Free BSD; I'm pretty sure I've seen ones that'll run on
old G3's.

Mouse button worked. Thanks you guys
Haha. You guys crack me up. But I agree... Somehow I wish my 2Ghz Core
2 iMac would conk out. But then, I really love this little guy, and
unfortunately I don't have an abundance of cash right now...
What! You're not supposed to unplug the computer to shut it down??
