Hi, This iMac is going to struggle if you install OS X 10.4 and then upgrade it to 10.4.11. It is not the upgrade that is the issue it is the G3 400MHz processor. This Mac would run very well with OS 9.2 for home work and educational games. If you choose to go with OS X 10.4, You need more RAM

Hi Stanton, Glad you're enjoying your grandchildren! There are actually several workarounds for that. 1) You could share your MacBook's connection with an ethernet cable, which is not hard to set up at all. The instructions are in your Mac's help section. 2) Depending on how far is the router
