Just Got: Apple iMac G3/600mhz (Summer 2001)
Makes sense for TFF to be given priority I guess as realistically G5-based machines are still perfectly viable daily grinders and fully capable of swallowing all the modern internet has to offer... the only thing that would stop them is software support. Most machines that can't comfortably run 10.4 and by default therefore can't run TFF (essentially G3 and slower G4 machines) realistically don't have the hardware capabilities to function as well on the modern internet... not to say that they are in any way useless, just that they are not quite as useful and therefore at a guess i would say not really that commonly used as daily drivers in 2015. I guess Clasilla more caters for the hobbyist in this respect and whilst there is a little room for improvement, it is still close to as functional a it can be on the hardware that it is primarily designed for. Like, for what it's worth, I couldn't possibly ask anymore of it on my G3/400-powered PM9600... Sure, it doesnt do youtube and has the odd hiccup with one or two pages, but the fact it negotiates and renders the internet even in a 90% usable fashion on 18 year old hardware and a 14 year old OS is to me, nothing short of an astounding achievement and a credit to the developers. 
That said... it is great to hear of movement at the station again on the Clasilla front nonetheless. 
Nice G3! I have 4 Graphite ones and 4 600 Mhz ones. One of them could be yours, 600 Mhz Graphite. It was my second G3, and the second old mac too. I got it with the idea of replacing the broken plastic of the 400 Mhz Graphite, but then felt bad for it and shortly after started to collect these things.
Yeah, the original HDD in the later iMac G3 seem to be more quiet that in the older ones (for example, my Summer 2000 DV SE Graphite 400 Mhz has a really noisy HDD).
I was always interested by using G3s regularly instead of letting them become dusty on their shelf, because as some of you already said here, that'd make them pretty much useless... and that's exactly what mine are. A fileserver would be a nice idea (and to be honest, I don't really have any other idea to make them useful), but I don't know what I should store on them.
I mean, I've all my stuff on the iMac i5, therefore no need for a fileserver...
