thanks so far for all the answers.
I don't mean to replace my systems running entirely. Most of the internet will be done with this ThinkPad whereas I always preferred doing my wordprocessing on my iBook with Appleworks 6 or OpenOffice.
But the issues with the iBook and Mac OS X also not starting up always as it used to do, I was dreaming of a much simpler system and I happen to love the compact mac design. Form follows functionality, if you want. :b&w:
Of course, the question is, will a used vintage compact Mac die in a few months when it sees daily use or is it good enough to go another 20 years or so [
] ]'> .
I would like to be able to use the internet in case the windows brick doesn't want anymore one day but it's not meant to be a surf station per se.
Maybe one day I would like to try out some Midi since there are some great programs still available and the compact macs plus is their easy and space saving setup.
The same goes for writing. Let's write the letter in the living room instead of the office or even in the bedroom: no other PC besides a laptop is being set up within 3 minutes.
So, I def. love the design. Since I come from Amiga, I know what a 68k can do and won't.
Would you think a Plus with 4 MB and Harddisk is good enough?
Which version of ClarisWorks would you prefer? 2.1 or 4.0 or anything different?
Thanks.
